Kalon is a robust SaaS platform designed to enhance strategic decision-making and accountability in healthcare settings. This innovative solution addresses critical challenges faced by healthcare providers by integrating comprehensive data visibility and compliance tracking into a single, easy-to-use interface. Kalon helps hospitals and healthcare providers ensure adherence to Statement of Priorities (SoP) targets, uncover hidden performance risk factors, and manage trends to improve overall patient outcomes.

Kalon directly addresses several pressing needs in the healthcare industry:

Lack of Visibility: Limited data access often impedes the ability to make informed, timely decisions in healthcare settings. Kalon solves this by providing a unified platform that integrates diverse data sources, including most commonly used Patient Administration Systems (PAS), Electronic Medical Records (EMR), and Riskman, ensuring enhanced visibility and enabling proactive, prioritised patient care.
Accountability and Compliance: Hospitals often struggle with maintaining compliance with healthcare standards due to complex regulations and evolving targets. Kalon provides continuous assurance of compliance, enabling facilities to stay aligned with legal and ethical standards, thereby supporting strategic decision-making and institutional accountability.
Cost Barriers:Implementing a comprehensive data platform for hospital use typically involves significant costs related to staffing, technology, and ongoing maintenance. Kalon offers a fixed annual cost that covers integration, dashboards in Power BI, and ongoing maintenance and support, providing a cost-effective solution that minimises the need for extensive resources, thereby lowering barriers and facilitating better financial management within healthcare facilities.

Kalon provides targeted benefits to various stakeholders within the healthcare sector, enhancing their ability to manage, analyse, and utilise data effectively. Here's how different roles within a healthcare organisation benefit from Kalon:

Executives:

Kalon offers executives a unified view of their organisation's data, integrating statutory KPIs and internal targets into a consolidated, interactive dashboard. This feature supports strategic decision-making by providing a comprehensive snapshot of performance across the board.
Provides clear visibility into activity-based funding (NWAU), from hospital-level insights down to specific activity/contact, enabling a deeper understanding of organisational funding targets.

Operations and Clinical:

Kalon centralises all quality KPIs from various operational systems, providing a single point of access for all quality and safety metrics. This consolidation helps in setting precise KPI targets and tolerances, enabling quick identification of performance risk factors.
The platform manages updates to calculations, business logic, and rules in accordance with changes mandated by the state’s health department, ensuring that quality and safety officers always have the most current and compliant data.

ICT Professionals:

The reduction of infrastructure footprint through Kalon's SaaS model significantly lowers ICT costs related to licensing and maintenance.
Kalon ensures high security with a serverless environment on Microsoft Azure Cloud, where data is encrypted both at rest and in transit, addressing key security concerns for ICT professionals.

Analysts and Analytics Developers:

Kalon can function either as a standalone analytics and reporting application or integrate into existing internal data repositories and data warehouses. This flexibility allows it to either augment current data management systems or operate independently based on the needs of the hospital.
Kalon includes a semantic model that provides the necessary framework to expand the platform. This allows them to create custom reports and dashboards or conduct ad-hoc analysis using tools like Excel, enhancing their ability to derive insights and add value through tailored data exploration and visualisation.

Overall, Kalon is engineered to enhance the functionality and efficiency of healthcare services by addressing specific needs across various departments, ensuring all stakeholders can perform their roles more effectively and with better data-driven insights.

By leveraging Kalon, healthcare providers can measurably improve their operational efficiencies and patient care outcomes, while ensuring compliance and uncovering potential risks before they impact service standards.
