Data and digital

Harnessing data and digital innovation to transform healthcare 

The NHS has the largest longitudinal linked data set in the world. The use of granular patient data can be used to understand needs, performance, productivity and quality across health systems. Innovations in data and digital create the potential to personalise services at the same time as making them more cost-effective. The adoption of new technologies including AI presents a once in a once-in-a-generation opportunity for transformation, but despite all these opportunities significant challenges exist in being able to effectively use data and digital to support healthcare delivery.
