Some drivers for change
Some drivers for change
‘I have access to the information, tools and services I need to help maintain and improve my health and wellbeing.
I expect my health and social care information to be captured electronically, integrated, and shared securely to assist service staff and carers that need to see it …
… and that digital technology and data will be used appropriately and innovatively, to:
– help plan and improve health and care services
– enable research and economic development, and
– ultimately improve outcomes for everyone.’
