LUCI is a clinical insights tool that presents clinicians and managers with data from the Trust’s electronic patient record to help them make informed decisions about the clinical care of their patients and the service delivery models that underlie them. Using the expertise and successful Natural Language Processing applications developed by the CRIS team over the last ten years, LUCI can:
- Extract information from free-text entries made by clinicians as well as structured forms, making this data easier to access and use.
- Summarise patients’ data across caseloads, care pathways and populations and show individuals’ longitudinal histories.
LUCI is currently used by healthcare professionals across the Trust in a range of use cases including for medication review, management of physical health checks, caseload management in community mental health teams and monitoring equality of access to psychological therapies.
With funding from Maudsley Charity, the CIS have transitioned LUCI into a fully supported service over the last 2 years: working with frontline users to ensure the dashboards work for them, improving the underlying data models and creating new visualisations guided by the needs of clinicians and services.
