Shaping your decision making
SHAPE is an online, interactive, data mapping, analysis and insight tool that supports service planning and estates strategy development.
Supported by the Department of Health and Social Care, SHAPE is a web enabled, evidence based application that informs and supports the strategic planning of services and assets across the public sector. The primary aim of the application is to facilitate scenario planning and option appraisals in support of public services. Its analytical and presentation features can help service commissioners to determine the service configuration that provides the most affordable access to services. The demographic and service data, combined with the information on estates location and performance, is also used to support estates strategy and business case development.
What's your biggest data challenge?
We asked NHS ConfedExpo 2024 attendees what their biggest data challenge was. They said…
Understanding the so what: 32%
Data validity: 24%
Resource & skill: 24%
Data availability: 20%
This suggests you’re struggling to use your data to support your day-to-day decisions and strategy.
Don’t forget, our experts at SHAPE can help you throughout your entire project, from providing visualisation tools to using SHAPE on your behalf to find the information you need.
