SMART —

SMART is a comprehensive mortality analysis suite. As well as helping NHS Trusts meet requirements for learning from deaths, SMART supports mortality and clinical leads in identifying cases of poor care to help drive improvement in quality and patient safety.

Acadiant developed SMART in partnership with Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Mid-Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust, and Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

Designed for the NHS, in partnership with the NHS

SMART was built together with the clinical leadership at three NHS Trusts to enhance the mortality review process and improve patient care.

SMART interoperates with a Trust’s electronic patient record to pre-populate forms with patient demographics and relevant coded information. Authorised users don't need additional logins to use SMART: the software integrates, interoperates, and conforms with a hospital’s current systems.

This enables mortality reviewers to spend their time focused on meaningful mortality reviews. Mortality leads can access reviews in real time and the themes that emerge can help focus on areas for improvement in quality and patient safety.

SMART supplies as much relevant information as needed, and provides simple, intuitive forms, making it easier to use than standard manual or spreadsheet processes. In addition, it's secure, enables safe sharing, and has a full, immutable audit trail.

As with all Acadiant software, the hospital retains ownership of its data, which can be downloaded as .csv, .pdf, .xlsx, or any preferred format, and used to populate templated board reports.

SMART can be delivered from the cloud on the N3 / HSCN spine or as an on-premise solution.

SMART has been awarded a place on the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 13 framework, facilitating faster, easier, compliant public sector procurement.
