GMCA Discovery for a Troubled Families Data and Analytics Solution Design

Description

A supplier is being procured to understand and review the IT systems in the Troubled Families arena across Greater Manchester. Our aim is to better understand interventions delivered, to link data on individuals and families and then provide analysis on the full cohort, with the ability to filter. To test hypothesis / theories on the cohort such as patterns that could lend themselves to predictive analysis. To evidence the value of data for the cohort, as a way of testing if this can be scaled up to other types of interventions. The data comes in different formats from different systems and quickly becomes too large for current analysis tool to calculate the required formula. This limits our ability to evidence our impact but also the potential of data to offer more than evaluations. We believe with the right data and right tools, we can provide regression analysis that will help us move to a preventative offer compared to a reactive approach. This will be procured via the Digital Outcomes framework.
