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.’
