Scotland’s Digital Health and Care Strategy Digital technology is increasingly a part of our everyday lives, and has the power to transform the way in which we operate health and care services. Scotland's Digital Health and Care Strategy sets out how the country will work collaboratively to maximise the potential of technology to reshape and improve services, support person-centred care, and improve outcomes. “We will begin work now to deliver a Scottish health and care ‘national digital platform’ through which relevant real- time data and information from health and care records, and the tools and services they use, is available to those who need it, when they need, wherever they are, in a secure and safe way”- Scotland’s Digital Health and Care Strategy

Where do we come in? Scotland’s overall digital strategy provides the lead for key innovations including: 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.

Digitising ReSPECT forms The PRSB is working with NHS Scotland and the Resus Council to create a digital specification for the ReSPECT form, to give people more say in their care decisions. Once complete, the PRSB will invite professionals to review and comment through an online survey. The ReSPECT digital specification will be endorsed by the PRSB and available to any providers.

Standards in action Our latest standard to be released is the digital care and support plan, which will enable information sharing between different organisations. This video, featuring Matthew Prosser and his family, shows the difference that sharing personalised information about care can make to people’s lives.
