A recording of our recent video event, in which Henrik Moeller introduced the new assessment platform and gave an overview of it’s features

Exciting major improvements to the Digital Maturity Assessment platform have been completed and are now live as a beta version.  The beta is accessible alongside the previous version until the end of July to allow users time to get accustomed to the new look and functionality; users can alternate freely between the two versions. The […]

Introduction Innovation within the Scottish Health and Social Care Sector is not only an important component of being ready for the future: at a national level, innovation plays a strategic role in securing the sector’s ability to meet its challenges in a transferable and scalable way, so that all of Scotland can benefit. The Scottish […]

Digital transformation in healthcare is rarely about a single “eureka” moment. Instead, it is asteady, deliberate march toward better infrastructure, stronger leadership, and smarterworkflows. Back in 2019, the Scottish Government asked statutory health and social care providers tocomplete their first Digital Maturity Assessment (DMA). The goal? To build a collectiveunderstanding of our digital capabilities and […]

The 2025 assessment data highlights that true digital integration of care across organisational boundaries remains a significant challenge. Within the Readiness theme, cross-organisational leadership has visibly strengthened: oversight of digital projects by representative groups from all concerned organisations is approaching a score of 90 out of 100. However, this positive momentum is not universally translating […]

Workforce engagement varies considerably by solution type. General administrative and foundational tools — including communication solutions, staff scheduling systems, generic productivity software, and overarching Electronic Patient and Service User Records […]

In anticipation of the full implementation of Scotland’s new subnational planning structure, which divides healthcare organisations into Scotland East and Scotland West, the 2025 assessment data has been mapped to the proposed subnational groupings. The findings reveal a clear, consistent, and significant disparity between the two regions across every single measured domain of digital health […]

While there is still a complicated mixture of national and departmental systems in place, the 2025 assessment data shows that Scotland is continuing to move away from fragmented legacy approaches. A steady migration away from locally developed solutions is visible across multiple system types, particularly within Patient Administration Systems and Care Planning, and the latest […]

Analysis of the 2025 data demonstrates that, while specific readiness and infrastructural components related to Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Model technology are emerging strongly, the functional deployment of these capabilities is not yet ubiquitous across Scottish health and social care. Because AI has the potential to make operations significantly more efficient across many use […]

Making health and social care services accessible via digital channels wherever appropriate is a key national objective. The data for this section had shown promising progression: 15 percent of service users were engaging with digital channels in 2023, and this figure more than doubled in the 2024 data collection. This progression has stalled and, in […]
