measure the extent to which health and social care services are ready for, or already supported by, the effective use of digital technology and data Identify key strengths and gaps in the adoption and use of digital services and processes, and offer an initial view of the current ‘baseline’ position across Scotland allow progress to be tracked over time, particularly with respect to the effective interoperability and integration of health and care information captured at the point of care identify key areas for priority digital improvements and investment Further objectives may be identified in subsequent iterations as the assessment model evolves. Adopting a phased approach gives us the opportunity to learn from the experience of initial completion, obtain feedback and identify the changes needed to support these additional objectives from 2019 onwards. How will the completion of a Digital Maturity Self-assessment support these objectives? By completing a Digital Maturity Self-assessment, organisations will have a comprehensive baseline and will, over time, develop an understanding as to progress made. This will give a clear basis for planning, prioritisation and delivery within and across organisations and support strategic decision making going forward. By looking across self-assessments within a geographic footprint Integration Authorities will have a comprehensive baseline understanding as to the position on digitally enabled integrated health and care services at the point of care within the local area, and the further progress being made over time. The self-assessment will enable organisations to understand and learn from those who have optimised and exploited what is often the same core technology to deliver a higher level of benefit. What is a Digital Maturity Index? A Digital Maturity Index is the summary set of results from the self-assessments expressed as a percentage score for the sections on readiness, capability and infrastructure and presented in a way that shows where good progress has been made and where there are gaps nationally. It is not a league table of results. The aggregation of individual self-assessments into a Digital Maturity Index will enable a clear picture to emerge of the relative progress of one organisation against peers. This presents substantial opportunities for shared learning and co-ordinated progress. The publication of an overall Digital Maturity Index will also enable year by year progress towards the ambition of becoming digital at the point of care to be demonstrated.
