The Staff Survey provides a simple, convenient way to assess front line staff perceptions of your organisation’s digital maturity, designed to promote the participation of staff at all operational levels of your organisation. Completion should take no more than 5 – 10 minutes and is completely anonymous. The Digital Maturity Staff Survey assessments do not impact on your organisation’s score and detailed results are only available to an organisation’s lead respondent. When is a Digital Maturity Self-assessment required? All NHS Boards and Local Authorities providing digital services to support acute, community, mental health, primary care and social care services as well as national boards providing direct clinical care services in Scotland will be invited to complete a Digital Maturity Self-assessment. Where an organisation provides services in multiple care settings, and is at different stages of digital maturity for each of them, a separate self-assessment can be submitted for each care setting. It is strongly recommend that the majority of the Capability sub-sections are completed separately for each care setting even if a single self-assessment is completed for sections on organisational readiness and enabling infrastructure. How is a Digital Maturity Self-assessment completed? The assessment is completed via a dedicated online tool. A username and password will be sent to the nominated lead respondent from each organisation. Respondents can choose whether or not to complete the assessment in one go or in stages, and can ‘delegate’ specific sections to colleagues with particular knowledge or expertise as required. The questionnaire element of the tool is structured around the sections and sub-sections set out above. The majority of the questions ask organisations to assess themselves on a five-point scale against a range of statements that represent ‘good practice’. These are supplemented by a relatively small number of quantitative questions which require a response against a numeric range. The initial version of the self-assessment has been designed to produce a comprehensive view of an organisation’s digital maturity without requiring an extensive and overly burdensome data collection exercise. The tool does not require evidence or justification to be recorded against each question. The self-assessment should not be completed by the lead respondent in isolation. Before recording a response to a question in the tool, it is expected that a wide range of evidence from across the organisation will be reviewed and opinions canvassed from a range of stakeholders (see section below). Organisations are expected to be able to justify a response when challenged, and may wish to maintain a record of their own rationale to support this. Indicative evidence sources are provided in Annex A.
