SHAPE Plus
SHAPE Plus is an interactive application that supports the private sector with business case development, options appraisals and estates strategy planning.
Data mapping and analysis is critical to organisational strategy. But often, data is in disparate sources, making timely, data driven decisions difficult.
Unlike other data mapping tools, SHAPE Plus is preloaded with national data sets from over 40 trusted sources, including NHS Digital, ODS, DEFRA, GOV.uk and QOF, providing demographic insight to support clinical and estates planning. The published data is updated either monthly, quarterly or annually, depending on the data source. There are also lots of tools that can be used to support scenario planning. The flexible geographies and catchment creation functionality enables a comprehensive overview of a locality and its needs.
SHAPE Plus users also benefits from exclusive features, data sets and tools, over and above those provided within the standard SHAPE Place version for the public sector. Plus customers are also invited to join the SHAPE Community, steering the R&D required to further enhance the platform exclusively for Plus users.
