Digital maturity varies significantly across the Scottish healthcare and social care landscape

22/07/2024

Interrogating the assessment data by topic illustrates the degree of variance between the levels of digital maturity participating organisations have reported.

This fact may well give rise to potential strategic approaches to the issues at hand: Highly concentrated scores (e.g., Asset and Resource Optimisation, Digital Channels) show that organisations are at a comparable level of digitisation and may benefit from a centrally guided approach to continuing progress; A wider spread of scores (e.g., Skills & Competences, Remote and Assistive Care, Business and Clinical Intelligence) indicates disparity in degree and nature of digitisation, suggesting that a single approach may be ineffective. Polarised scores (e.g., Clinical Safety, Records, Assessments & Plans) indicate a mix of advanced and beginning stages of digitisation. Fostering knowledge sharing between those organisations may prove effective in supporting ongoing progress.
