Archus appoints Jason Harries to lead new analytics business

Leading healthcare consultancy Archus has appointed Jason Harries as managing director of its new analytics business and platform, Archus Insight. He commented that he  would help to build out the platform, and help other parts of the business relate to it.

Harries expanded, “I am delighted to be joining Archus to develop Archus Insight, which is complementary to the strategic advisory, technical advisory and programme and project management services already provided across the wider business.”

The new platform aims to help healthcare organisations monitor performance, predict outcomes and design more effective care strategies and services which can meet the health needs of the population as they change in the future. This will deploy data analysis, helping clients to achieve “their ambitions for delivering exceptional care to the communities they serve,” Harries added.

Launched in 2017, Archus is a team of experts providing strategic and infrastructure advice to health and social care clients. Its team of health planners, clinicians, data analysts, project managers, strategic advisors and technical specialists support clients across the UK, Ireland and internationally, with offices in Bristol, London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Swansea, Dublin, Cork and Toronto.

Most recently the CEO of healthcare advisory Abberley Consulting, Harries brings over 25 years of experience to the firm, having spent his career in healthcare informatics, software development, and analytics. In the process, Harries has built a track record in successfully scaling similar businesses.

Speaking on the arrival, Richard Darch, CEO of Archus, noted, “Jason joins us at a significant time of growth and ambition as part of our ongoing strategic expansion, which includes growth in international markets. His background and expertise ensure he is  well-placed to lead the establishment and future growth of the new Archus Insight business, where the new data platform will be key in helping healthcare organisations in navigating the challenges they face in minimising health inequalities, delivering the very best care and driving organisational and system-level transformation.”
