Creating a person-centered data culture
Working together to make data more person-centred to improve patient care.
The benefits of person-centred data are well known: it improves patient care by shifting focus from medical records to understanding individual needs, preferences and circumstances.
The 2022 report "Data Saves Lives: Reshaping Health and Social Care with Data" highlights how data can revolutionise healthcare. Despite hurdles, ongoing progress hints at a brighter future.
But to get there, the NHS needs employees who are data-savvy and digitally literate.
Investing in impactful data training programmes is crucial for strategically and cost-effectively achieving the project's goals. These initiatives empower individuals with essential data skills like analysis and management, enabling them to use data more effectively in their day-to-day roles.
Data literacy strengthens the workforce's abilities and advances the NHS's goal of leveraging data to improve health and social care outcomes.
