Yorkshire Ambulance Service signs with ACTIVE

The new Yorkshire Ambulance Service has entered into a contract with Berkshire-based Active for the supply of its geographic information system across the region.

The system, called Total Solution Mapping, is an analysis tool enabling the visualisation, manipulation and interpretation of a wide range of datasets. Over 50 NHS trusts and agencies already use the product to help them understand the people they serve, plan their services and monitor the impacts of change on workload.

"Total solution mapping was selected on the basis of its track record in West Yorkshire in recent years, its ease of use and its speed", said David Johnson, Director of IT at the ambulance service. "ACTIVE has effectively responded to our needs and the system’s specification and performance will supply important information to the Trust across both operational and planning issues."

ACTIVE is headquartered in Basingstoke and supplies systems, data and advisory services to the healthcare and socialcare industry, as well as to further and higher education and the sports and town-planning markets.
