Primary Care Activity Data

Interrogate patient activity in the primary care setting with an anonymized, local-level data set that enables the safe and secure exploration of diagnosis, treatment, demographics and more across England.

Vantage is the first real-world data (RWD) SaaS platform offering the Primary Care Activity Data Panel dataset, including data from all three primary care clinical systems in one consistent format: EMIS, SytmOne and Vision.

Data points include:

  • Patient demographics
  • Symptoms and diagnoses
  • Treatment and prescriptions
  • Tests and measurements
  • Referrals

This is the fastest-growing GP-provided source of Primary Care Activity Data, with 15.6 million patients added since 2019. Coded using a single code taxonomy, it includes curated code lists for many common primary care conditions.

Mental Health Data

Explore real-world mental health activity in England with access to rich, patient-level data covering assessment, referral, treatment and care pathways. By using mental health data in the Vantage Real-World Data Analyzer, users can better understand demand, variation and outcomes across services, helping to:

  • identify unmet need
  • support evidence generation
  • inform more effective planning

for patient populations where timely insight is increasingly important. We offer both the NHS Mental Health Services Data Set (MHSDS) and a powerful Natural Language Processing (NLP)-based dataset to provide additional insights, including therapies and signs & symptoms, from patient records.

Diagnostic Imaging Data

Analyze detailed information about diagnostic imaging tests carried out on patients in the UK. The data captures all imaging activity for the purposes of:

  • diagnosis
  • intervention (e.g., surgery)
  • treatment (e.g., radiotherapy)

In addition to patient demographics, the type of test and body site are also detailed with all modalities covered. Referral source and waiting times are key to understanding where bottlenecks occur within a clinical pathway from time of test request through to time of reporting.

Simulations

Show the impact of a new intervention or service change with custom-built, online and iPad-friendly 3D-animated models to simulate health care pathways. Simulations map and visualize complex real-world patient pathways to initiate change or service transformation with health care professionals and providers. Our interactive, dynamic health care models update in real time, based on your specified inputs from unlimited input fields.

  • Pathway mapping: Our in-house experts (clinicians, epidemiologists and data scientists) have more than 10 years of experience building simulations and access to KOLs and payers.
  • Share outputs: Share key outputs with health care payers, providers or professionals post-meeting, including a pre-made business case or visual dashboard. Track adoption with monthly usage reporting.
  • Medical approval: Support medical approval efforts with specification documents and screenshot packs managed via third party tools.

Additional offerings

Rapid Data Insight Packs provide a cost and time effective option to obtain valuable insights into a given therapy or disease area. Using US closed claims datasets, derived from health insurers (payers), they provide insights into patients’ healthcare activities during a specific enrollment period. Rapid Data Insight Packs are also available for our other real-world datasets, including US ophthalmology data linked to US claims data.

7 metrics tailored for your therapy area

Transform historical real-world data into forward-looking intelligence with visual forecasts built into Storyboard or custom reports. Users can apply forecasting to key metrics such as admissions, appointments, diagnoses or treatment activity to anticipate future trends, helping teams plan interventions, estimate demand and understand where resources may be needed most.

One-off custom reports on outcome metrics in specific disease areas.

Identify trends and variations in Integrated Care systems (ICSs) and other NHS localities including ethnicity, gender, age and IMD Deprivation scores.

Compare product performance across a range of metrics and geographic levels to understand market share or product versus market growth.

Compare populations and localities with greater confidence using benchmarking and statistical visualizations designed to account for variation between patient groups. By incorporating techniques such as Directly Age Standardized Rates (DASR), confidence intervals and clear visual outputs, we help users move beyond simple comparisons to identify meaningful differences, highlight variation and support more robust evidence-based decision making.
