Fully web enabled integrated governance and risk management system for application across any healthcare, social care, local or central government organisation. The need to implement a comprehensive system to manage risk has never been greater due to the increasingly complex environments and organisational interfaces in which businesses and organisations operate.

Utilised as a whole or individually to suit your specific requirements, Sentinel's modular functions will ensure that you manage risk effectively, in-line with your strategic and budgetary requirements. Placing Sentinel at the centre of your risk management strategy will ensure that you:

Mark Cheshire, Risk Manager at Birmingham East and North PCT, said: "Sentinel has ensured we meet the mandatory reporting requirements of the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) and Health Care Commission (HCC) whilst delivering a number of key commercial benefits to ensure best value and optimum performance levels. A key benefit to staff and to the Trust is the system's usability - a simplified reporting format and secure remote access via N3 means less administration, enabling clinical staff to spend more time delivering care to patients. Effective trend analysis has also helped the Trust to avoid issues such as inappropriate referrals, freeing up valuable time and resources and improving overall service to patients."
Given the success of the system to date in boosting reporting levels and helping to reduce risk, the Trust now plans to roll the system out to all staff across the PCT, including to all third party contracted partners such as GPs, dentists and pharmacists, for a holistic and comprehensive reporting process on a PCT-wide basis.
