ASSIGNMENT
Assessment Case Study:
It is becoming increasingly important for individuals working in Health and Social Care to understand and appreciate how data analytics can inform demand management. Therefore, as part of this assessment you must demonstrate and apply the key concepts, tools, and techniques of data analytics and demand management, considering the legal and ethical aspects of using personal data in the context of the real industry case study below:
Public health sector is focused on improving the health of the population through measures like disease prevention, health promotion, and environmental health: https://www.local.gov.uk/topics/social-carehealth-and-integration/public-health
Assignment Tasks:
As a research assistant based on the project above you are tasked to develop a report for the project consortium board and include:
- Identify the types of data that needs to be collected and consider any legal and ethical frameworks governing the collection, storage, and use of personal data for this project (30 Marks)
- Analysing the current data analytics concepts, techniques and tools that can be used by the project to enhance decision making and increase productivity for public health sector. Include the impact of data analytics on the demand management supply chain for the mind organisation (45 Marks)
- Provide a summary of your findings and any further recommendation. (15 Marks)
- Formatting & References (10 Marks)
Note: You may use any business related models, theories, diagrams, and graphs to evidence and present your findings. All your findings must be based on your research and knowledge gained through the module.
Reading Requirements:
As an independent consultant your research should therefore focus on finding factual information relevant to your tasks outlined above. The concepts, tools, techniques, and models identified must be based on academic literature and industry papers, this includes journals and conference papers, industry white papers and reports, government website or independent research institute such as McKenzie.

Level 7 is characterised by an expectation of students’ expertise in their specialism. Students are semi-autonomous, demonstrating independence in the negotiation of assessment tasks (including the major project) and the ability to evaluate, challenge, modify and develop theory and practice. Students are expected to demonstrate an ability to isolate and focus on the significant features of problems and to offer synthetic and coherent solutions, with some students producing original or innovative work in their specialism that is worthy of publication or public performance or display. |
