ℹ️ Introduction

This article explains how to use Organisational Activity in Ardens Manager to record, manage and store non-clinical contract information that cannot be extracted from the clinical system. By the end of this article, you will be able to maintain organisational activity records within the platform.

Background

Some contract requirements include activities or evidence that cannot be captured through clinical coding. Examples include training records, named roles, audits, or supporting documentation. Without a consistent approach, this information can be difficult to manage, track and evidence across organisations.

Organisational Activity in Ardens Manager provides a centralised way to record and store this information. Depending on the contract type:

• Local Contracts may include Commissioner review and approval workflows

• National contracts (e.g. Network Contract DES) typically use this for internal recording and tracking only

How Ardens Can Help

Ardens Manager supports Organisational Activity by providing:

• A central place for all non-clinical contract evidence

• The ability to add free text and upload supporting documents

• Clear visibility of activity requirements and completion status

• A structured way to track progress across reporting periods

• Optional approval workflows (where enabled for Local Contracts)

• A full audit trail of submissions and updates

This ensures organisational requirements are recorded consistently and are easy to access, review and manage.
