At the Intensive Care National Audit & Research Centre (ICNARC), the focus is on people who are likely to become, currently are, or are recovering from being critically ill within mainly the NHS.

They work to help ensure the best possible care by facilitating improvements in the structure, processes, outcomes and experiences of critical care – for patients and for those who care for them.

I was responsible for independently discovering new ways of working and technologies and assessing their suitability for the organisation.

This senior management role is responsible for the vision and strategic leadership of the teams responsible for the management SDLC, development, maintenance and support of the National Clinical Audits and CTU Clinical Trials Units Research, communications and digital infrastructure systems.

I spearheaded the vision and architectural transformation, driving a cultural shift within the organisation. I delivered a new tool (Platform X) for National Clinical Audits, which will also be used in future clinical trials, replacing a 20-year-old legacy .Net/MVC application and Microsoft stack.

This new solution leverages an Open-Source ETL tool and application using Pentaho, incorporating modern data approaches, a data platform, and analytics. The architectural transformation was developed by Dan Keeley from Code BI Ltd.

Full stack metadata-driven thinking to drive business agility

Speaker: Dan Keeley, Code BI

Synopsis: We’ve all heard about metadata driven approaches in analytics, and indeed particularly in ingestion but what about if you applied this technology to the FULL stack. Metadata driven UI?

Metadata driven business rules? And naturally the analytics too.

Could this approach drive REAL business agility?
