Is the pressure to improve in your department hindered by the burden of proof? Do you find that time is tied up in making and compiling records for reports? Are you looking for a simple solution that makes recording procedure times a breeze and handles all your reporting automatically?

THRIVE is here to provide all these things and more. 

How does THRIVE work?

• Build a list, in less than a minute
• Record your lists: one click at the start, one click at the end of each procedure

With options to record late start and cancellation reasons from drop-down lists. 

Built with the goal of minimal disruption with maximum insight.

All Goals need a Starting Point

To track progress, every endeavour needs a sturdy foundation to measure any improvements against. It is a much smoother process to raise issues and support requests when there is proof of ongoing issues mapped out in irrefutable data. 

During the first month using THRIVE; inputting all procedures planned, capturing cancellations, late start reasons and timing sessions with a simple Stop/Start interface – teams begin to build an accurate summary of activity that is essential to identifying trends and patterns.

In the current climate of high expectations and tight budgets; it is key, for any diagnostic service, to be able to make performance improvements to reach expected targets over the coming months and years. 

Stretched for time?

It is no secret that hospital teams are stretched to achieve all they need to – to reduce waiting lists they will need to identify all opportunities for increased capacity and productivity. THRIVE data allows trusts to see exactly where time is spent, where cancellations leave unproductive time, where room sharing impacts availability, and where certain procedure types fit best within a schedule. 

THRIVE reduces guesswork by having weekly, monthly and ad-hoc reports produced as part of the service whilst also providing live reporting tools for senior management to check at any time. 

Exactly what you need, summarised

Trusts across the UK are looking for productivity data that reflects their efforts and can be shared and compared easily and with equitability. 

This data also needs to be free from patient details and all about the specific procedures that took place, the time they took, the turnaround time and other invisible work that is not captured by any other existing tools. 

THRIVE promises rich results from minimal data. 

It is truly remarkable what can be discovered through data analysis.  Since launching THRIVE, it has been used to identify trends in cancellations and impact the booking process to prioritise certain procedures to the most suitable time of day or day of the week. 

Without a Baseline, how do you measure improvement?

Put simply, you can’t improve if you don’t know where you are starting from. Any claims would be conjecture and that won’t meet any true targets. 

To measure improvement, and to get accurate productivity analysis, a baseline of activity needs to be set. 

Once you start gathering reliable data, you can:

• Establish accurate baselines: procedure and turnaround times
• Identify variability: spot outliers or ongoing trends
• Monitor change over time: see if initiates hold productivity steady, regress, or need adjustment
• Drive accountability: move from subjective narratives “we’re usually fast” to objective evidence “our average turnaround is 3 minutes faster than it was six months ago”.
• Create Targets: understand where you want to be in the future compared to the present day and identify the steps needed to achieve those goals

With a strong foundation and understanding of current capacity – changes can be made.

It takes time

When trusts are being challenged to make reductions to waiting lists and improve productivity; all without any meaningful increase to resources (no extra rooms, equipment or staff) – they need to discover the hidden opportunities. 

To build on the good parts of the existing processes, and change what isn’t working, will take time. KPIs can be tracked throughout all activity and provide insight at a local, regional and even national level.

We know there is no single solution and that each hospital and department operate differently within their own building, team structure, and waiting lists. There are hundreds of small steps that can be taken to make minor and major improvements. 

THRIVE can be the basis to measure all improvement projects in real time. 

Independent, unbiased, reliable data

THRIVE operates independently of existing Trust systems to provide a real-time, non-patient-identifiable record of all diagnostic activity. Ensuring an unbiased, auditable view of true capacity utilisation that is not constrained by coding or booking data. 

By capturing activity across rooms, lists, and modalities, THRIVE builds the most accurate operational picture available – enabling teams to see what is really happening on the ground, not just what has been scheduled.

THRIVE provides hospitals with a simple yet powerful tool to track procedure timings: using just a start and stop button. While it may seem almost too simple, this small act of recording start and end points creates an essential data foundation that many organisations are currently missing.

You cannot improve what you cannot measure – so get started measuring today. 

Data creates visibility. It turns the hidden into the seen and transforms conversations from opinion-based debates into fact-based decision-making.
