2. Innovative Healthcare Delivery Programme (IHDP)
Aims to harness the power of informatics to deliver value rapidly to patients, health care professionals and the wider NHS through collaboration with academia, industry and the third sector

3. IHDP High Level Aims
As a first priority to develop a national cancer data infrastructure for Scotland (SCIF), linking primary, secondary, and ultimately social, care data to improve patient outcomes.
This is the demonstrator workstream to inform the application of the IHDP’s approach to other conditions;
- e.g. rare diseases

10. Scottish Cancer Registry and Intelligence Service
1. Faster availability of cancer incidence data.
Lag time reduced by 50% (ambition is to reduce from 12 months to 6 months)
2. Include new data
sources.
Including enhanced chemotherapy, enhanced radiotherapy, cancer audit/QPI and molecular pathology
3. Timely linked data through National Repository.
Linkage to wide range of health and care datasets
4. Easier access to data for stakeholders.
Single point of access through a cancer dashboard
5. Enhanced intelligence.
Increased analytical team providing support for service delivery, research and innovation.
The SCRIS service enables :
1. Unlocking access to the rich data sources currently collected across NHS Scotland
a) Incorporating additional data sources not currently available for national analysis.
b) Easier access to timely linked data through a national repository
c) Data currently received and used by the Cancer Registry (e.g. Pathology data) becomes accessible to other analysts and researchers
2. Reduce the lag time for availability of Cancer Incidence by 50%
3. Exploiting the data to produce meaningful intelligence for Cancer Service Planning, benchmarking, Enhanced Research and Innovation opportunities.
4. Link into the outputs of the IHDP led Information Governance Work stream.
Future proofed solution will allow linkage to other data sets in the future and take on board emerging developments e.g. NLP, big data and open data as wider strategies are implemented.
Our plan has a timeline of 24 months with the project commencing in April 2017
