Building a Data Fluent Compliance Agency

Adact Medical was grappling with repetitive work, duplication of effort, and processes prone to human error, all of which led to lengthy, expensive workflows and a suboptimal customer experience. Data Stream UK stepped in to streamline operations, eradicate these pain points and significantly enhance efficiency.

Adact Medical faced a series of complex challenges that hindered their ability to efficiently manage regulatory compliance and deliver a smooth customer experience. Recognising the critical need for change, they partnered with Data Stream UK to overhaul their approach.

To begin, we refined the project’s requirements by engaging with several key stakeholders across Adact Medical. We spent time developing a robust data strategy that aligned perfectly with their corporate goals. This strategy was designed not only to meet immediate regulatory needs but also to support the company’s long-term growth and operational efficiency.

Next, we examined Adact Medical’s existing data infrastructure. It quickly became apparent that their current setup was inadequate for supporting the newly defined data strategy. Data Stream reimagined this infrastructure, leveraging a combination of new and existing technologies. Our goal was to minimise additional costs while ensuring that the infrastructure was fully fit for purpose. The rebuilt infrastructure provided a solid foundation that could support both current and future needs, streamlining processes and eliminating previous inefficiencies.

With the infrastructure in place, we turned our focus to data quality and analysis. We identified the specific data points needed to fulfill the requirements of the new strategy, working closely with thirdparty documentation, Adact Medical’s industry expertise, and our own data knowledge. This collaborative approach ensured that the necessary data was captured accurately and efficiently, forming the backbone of the new system.

Understanding that a successful project requires the right team, we evaluated Adact Medical’s internal data talent to ensure they had the skills needed to achieve the project’s goals. Where gaps were identified, we provided training and support to upskill the team, ensuring everyone was equipped to contribute effectively to the project’s success.

One of the most significant challenges we encountered was the existing data culture within Adact Medical. Years of frustration with previous suppliers had left staff with a negative outlook on new processes, making them reluctant to embrace change. We addressed these concerns head-on by listening carefully to the team’s past experiences and ensuring that the new approach would not repeat the mistakes of the past. By involving all stakeholders from the outset, we fostered a sense of ownership and responsibility, leading to a more enthusiastic and effective adoption of the new systems and processes.

Finally, we addressed data governance to ensure that the newly captured and processed data was securely stored, properly democratised among stakeholders, and fully compliant with relevant regulations. This comprehensive approach to data governance not only safeguarded Adact Medical’s operations but also reinforced trust among stakeholders.

Through this holistic and methodical approach, Data Stream UK was able to eradicate the pain points that had previously hindered Adact Medical. The result was a streamlined, efficient operation that not only met regulatory requirements but also positioned the company for sustained growth and success.
