The project was evaluated by a panel of independent assessors.
The Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project that enabled the development and growing success of CarePulse, a system designed by Evalucom Consulting Ltd. to monitor quality indicators in healthcare, has been deemed 'outstanding' by Innovate UK, after being evaluated by a panel of independent assessors.
