The resulting analyses are used to support ongoing investigations as well as inform the intelligence picture and guide fraud prevention steps. One of the key tools used by the NHSCFA is an Intelligence Database used to collect and analyse intelligence data. In the current process data is ingested into the database from several sources from automated imports from other systems to manual input using the forms functionality built into the current system with the ability to link any data entity to another.
