The Scottish Government has launched a new Digital Health and Social Care Strategy that sets out how technology can support person-centred care and help to not only sustain but improve services for the future.
As well as looking to the future, the strategy highlights the challenges and progress so far and looks to make the most of the opportunities that digital technology offers to help improve the health and wellbeing outcomes for people in Scotland. Importantly, it extends as well to informal care, self-care, prevention and public health.
Scotland’s overall Digital Strategy provides the lead for:
- supporting digital transformation by delivering public services that meet the needs of the public
- effective use of data
- developing standards and assurances
- improving and extending our broadband and mobile networks
- increasing digital participation
- making sure Scotland is a world leader in cyber resilience.
