Are you a Third or Independent social care organisation interested in participating in a Digital Maturity assessment?

Scotland’s Digital Health and Care Strategy identified the need to fully understand the level of organisational Digital Maturity across Scotland within health and social care.

With the aim to develop a collective understanding of current capabilities and capacity to support utilisation of digital approaches throughout all aspects of service delivery across health and social care, an online Digital Maturity survey went live in April 2023, targeted at:

  • NHS Boards (both national and territorial)
  • Local Authorities
  • Health and Social Care Partnerships.

With submissions representing the services they provide and commission/contracts to be provided on their behalf. The focus being to gain an understanding of the relative Digital Maturity of their organisation at a service delivery level and across different care settings.

Scottish Government are interested in speaking with colleagues from Third and Independent social care organisations that provide commissioned services to establish whether there is an appetite for having direct access to the platform, and interest in conducting organisational Digital Maturity assessments on an on-going basis.

There is no cost associated with having access to the platform, apart from a time commitment. If your organisation did participate, they would be able to get a tailored report which would be private and specific to the organisation.

At this stage, they are seeking an indication of interest only- and would seek the input of those keen to participate in reviewing the current sections and questions to ensure relevance.

If your organisation is interested in discussing further, please Marion Logan directly at: marion.logan@gov.scot
