SG/COSLA Digital Maturity Assessment 2025 Summary of Findings Report

11/05/2026

Scotland is one of only a handful of countries tracking digital maturity in health and social care year on year; and with four consecutive assessments now complete, the picture that emerges is richer and more revealing than ever. Explore Scotland’s unique digital maturity time series and find out what is working, where there is room for improvement, and where the sector is heading next.


The findings are frank and thought-provoking. Clinical Safety has seen its strongest
performance yet, digital prescribing in the community has surged and infrastructure investment is paying off. Meanwhile the gap between the most and least digitally mature systems appears to be widening.

This year we have added some questions to the report to prompt discussion internally within organisations, across local health & care systems and for national stakeholders to consider.

The report also shines a light on the different perspectives of what leadership reports and what the frontline workforce actually experiences. Whether you work in policy, digital transformation, or direct care delivery there is something in here for you. Download the full report below, and explore the individual report section posts in our Learning area for a deeper dive into each finding.
