Sentinel was initially appointed to provide a data integration and data sharing solution to support the Liverpool Families Programme which aims to improve outcomes for families with complex and multiple difficulties.
Providing an up-to-date, accurate single view of individuals and family groups, our Data Hub originally integrated data from more than 30 different sources, enabling the council to identify families that met programme criteria.
In response to the Covid-19 pandemic the council recognised how the Data Hub could be used to help it to target support across Liverpool by identifying those who were most vulnerable.
As a result, the Hub was extended to include health-related information from more than 12 new sources – including nine direct from the NHS – bringing the total of integrated data feeds to more than 40.
