The Model Hospital Dashboard provides Key Performance Indicators e.g. Cost per Test, Test per WTE and Pay-Cost per WTE aggregated from bottom-up data enabling drill down into further detail.

The rolled up Model Hospital figures can be exported at the touch of a button for easier submission of data to NHSi.

Baseline forecasts can be adjusted for planned changes in service, such as the addition of a new customer, using overlays.

Test level price lists can be imported into the application. Price lists are applied to customers per period to enable mid-year changes.
