About us

Data into Action uses health and social care information to improve services across Cheshire and Merseyside.

It is a programme of work that sees our NHS, local authorities, the University of Liverpool and partners working together to make things better for all 2.6 million people in our region.

When people see a GP, go to hospital, or receive care in a care home, information is recorded to help them receive the best possible care. Data into Action uses this information to see what our health and social care services are doing well, to identify how they can improve, and to support them to make positive changes.

Our core areas:

  • Improved care: Working together with the local healthcare system to provide better care for patients with complex health needs through prevention, faster diagnosis and improved treatment. 
  • Advanced analytics: We link and analyse data to identify and support people with complex needs who are at risk of developing health conditions. We use techniques including risk stratification, segmentation, predictive modelling and matching. 
  • Evidence-based change: We use evidence to evaluate the impact of different healthcare treatments and models of care to support the development of new pathways and interventions. 
  • Information management: We ensure that your data is safe. We make sure your health and care information is properly protected and adhere to all legal, organisational and ethical obligations. 
  • Population Health Academy: We share the learning and insight that we have gained to equip people with the knowledge, skills, systems and processes to lead transformation and improve health for Cheshire and Merseyside. 
  • Infrastructure and data assets: We are continually advancing our technical capability by supporting the development of our strategic architecture and associated data assets. 
  • Connecting people: We bring together different teams within the Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care System to make the best use of expertise to better support patients. 
  • Public involvement: We work in partnership with people and communities to improve health and care.
