Where I have been a guest of the Royal Air Force, French Air Force, German Air Force, US Air Force, US Navy and NASA. And have been fortunate to have several of my photos published in online articles of a leading UK Military Aviation website.
Working with Data over all these years and as well as a photographer, I know all to well in how frustrating it is to have corrupt data from power surges, or accidentally delete photos or have corrupt memory cards. Therefore I have obtained various software that recovers a variety of different data types from hard drives and various types of Memory Card.
The company was formed in December 2014. From February 2012 to Present (3 years 11 months) Interim Income and Contracts Analyst @ Bought in to replace a contractor, on a short term contract, whilst the trust has recruited a perm member of staff. The trust has recently acquired County Hospital (Stafford). And therefore my role was to use T-SQL to return and reconcile M1 data of SLAM against SUS. However the SLAM data was using 14/15 Tariff and the SUS was using R15 of 15/16 Enhanced Tariff which uses a different grouper and the trusts MFF is different in 15/16. Therefore the patient activity and costs do not match. So i created a fully automated spreadsheet using SQL Server, Excel and the National Tariff data, that would report on the differences between SLAM and SUS, for further monthly reconciliations. Deal with the forecasting of activity by using Forecast Outturn with an agreed percentage multiplier. From May 2015 to July 2015 (3 months) Interim Principal Contracts Analyst @ April 2015, saw the merger of South West CSU, Central Southern CSU and South CSU. During this time, the new organisation went through a significant change with staff. The provider trusts were having problems with submitting their CIVICA SLAM extracts, due to themselves having staffing issues, therefore I was required to step back from my original role, and move forward into supporting the Specialised Commissioning Team.
The role encompassed the running of T-SQL scripts and views to provide challenge reports of various providers. Mostly duplicate records, inconstancies of critical care days based on discharge dates and charges for Welsh Patients and also challenges on Drugs which the trust should have applied to the Cancer Drug Fund.

So taking each trusts monthly submission in tern and then import it into SQL Server 2012, and by using case statements within pre existing T-SQL stored procedures to format the data into the correct PODs and column order. Then import the data in to CIVICA SLAM. Calculate and then load the data into a Cube within the data warehouse. Then using a spreadsheet with slice and dice filters within a Pivot table and reconcile the activity and costs against SUS and Plan that are stored in a Data Cube. Come the 1st April, hoping that all three provider trusts will provide extracts files via their own SLAM, using the agreed column orders and agreed names for PODs.

The data quality isn’t great, as the provider uses their own inhouse system.
Other tasks are to look at Antenatal data and check that those with booking dates, appear on the Inpatient activity, either in the form a live birth, still birth or termination. Where there is no match on the Inpatient, I then report on the ethnicity and GP practice of where the patient resided, as there is a lot of migration activity.
