Data & Analytics
Working with hospices
Helping hospices to accelerate their digital strategies
Why are we working with hospices
At Here, our purpose is Exceptional care, for everyone. That includes supporting hospices to unlock the value of their clinical data.
- Many hospices now use SystmOne, a powerful but complex EPR system.
- We’ve faced similar challenges and invested in analytics infrastructure to make it work.
- Our partnerships began with a shared question: “We have great data—how do we use it?”
- We offer support that builds internal capability—not dependency.
- Our goal is to help hospices use data to improve care and demonstrate impact.
Why it matters
Hospices are under increasing pressure to participate in NHS data initiatives and prove their value.
- Programmes like Faster Data Flows and CSDS require timely, structured data.
- Visibility of activity and impact in the health system is essential.
- Most hospices lack the data engineering capacity to meet these demands.
- Modern EPR systems offer rich data, but accessing and using it is challenging.
- Without structured analytics, teams spend time fixing reports instead of measuring impact.
- We help hospices move beyond “analysis paralysis” to use data strategically.
Who we’ve worked with:
Insights that shape our approach
Our experience shows that every hospice is unique, but the challenges are shared.
- No one-size-fits-all solution—each hospice has different systems and constraints.
- What’s transferable is the know-how—connecting systems, structuring data, and enabling teams.
- Hospices want support, not outsourcing—they’re eager to learn and grow.
- Our approach is scalable, sustainable, and rooted in real-world healthcare experience
- We focus on:
- Population health and equity
- Impact measurement and IPOS
- Building internal analytics capability

Data and Analytics: why we work with hospices
Like many of us delivering healthcare in collaboration with the NHS, hospices are experiencing the dilemma of not being an NHS organisation but needing to know our way around the landscape of data as if they are.
Data rich, information poor: Why analytics matters to hospices

How can Here help hospices enhance their impact with data?
Our goal isn’t to outsource your data function; it’s to build a partnership where we work alongside you, helping your hospice maximise its impact through effective data use. We aim to empower your team to focus on what really matters: understanding your service outcomes and making informed decisions about where improvements can be made.
Why do we want to work with hospices?
When we work in partnership we seek likeminded organisations, and it is no surprise that we have started to find these in the hospice sector. We feel privileged to support the work of St Gemma’s Hospice and to share our learning in this new partnership.
