Digital Health & Care Strategy – 27 October

Digital Health & Care Strategy – 27 October

Scotland’s Digital Health & Care Strategy – gov.scot (www.gov.scot) has been published.

The strategy sets out how we will work together to improve the care and wellbeing of people in Scotland by making best use of digital technologies in the design and delivery of services, in a way, place and time that works best for them.  It builds upon the digital successes which were accelerated as a result of Covid-19, such as Near Me video consulting; greater digital capability in care homes; and the increase in remote monitoring and self-management of conditions from home.
