📢 UK health data should be recognised as "critical national infrastructure", says the #SudlowReview. Professor Cathie Sudlow’s independent review of the UK health data landscape, published today, offers critical insights into how we can safely and securely use data science to improve health services across the UK. At present, scientists frequently have to wait many months – or even years – to securely access health data to improve care and for vital research into diseases like dementia, cancer and heart disease. The review sets out five key recommendations for overcoming the barriers that currently delay the safe and secure use of health data, to transform the national health data ecosystem and improve lives. ➡️ Learn more: https://hubs.li/Q02XsSfS0 #HealthData #DataScience

The UK's new Data Bill aims high, from boosting digital ID frameworks to enhancing NHS data sharing and streamlining research access! With a projected economic impact of £10 billion, this bill is about turning data power into real-world gains. I'm excited to see the UK shape a more efficient, data-savvy future! #DataInnovation #UKDataBill #DigitalTransformation #NHS

How can NHS digital teams shake up how they serve frontline staff and patients when traditional consulting models have failed them? In our latest article, we lay out how our Zero Dependency framework can help leaders serve their users by cutting reliance on suppliers and becoming technically self-sufficient.  https://lnkd.in/efceg-Dy Interested to know how this could help NHS Trusts transform service delivery, build up their in-house technical skills, and make the best possible use of taxpayers’ money? Find out in our article below.

Top expert in NHS data usage, Jessica Rose Morley, PhD, took to X.com with a pithy dissection of how that data is being collected and shared. “A fundamental problem is that NHS, health, social care, & public health data (you need ALL) are stored in 00s siloed wide but shallow databases, and flowing all over the place. We need to focus on *depth* not just *breadth*. “... policy must focus on quality. Giving researchers broader access to poor quality, missing, messy, uncurated, ill-formatted etc. data will not achieve much.” Is the penny finally dropping for her policymaker audience? Over and over again, those policymakers have told NHS organisations: “here’s a specification, send this data to us”, followed inevitably by expressions of astonishment that the resulting data submissions are riddled with inconsistency and error. Yet they knew full well that the data was coming from a huge variety of IT systems, all configured differently. There is no magic wand for good data quality. Every field and every data table have to be consistent and correct in both structure and meaning, which Insource’s Unified Data Layer (UDL) achieves after around two dozen meticulous transformations, with localisations injected at the right stage along the way. And it’s why we don’t take derived fields on trust, instead we recalculate things like age and responsible commissioner afresh using the correct rules. The NHS is now embarking on a new wave of data collection and aggregation, to be used for many things like performance management, research, and local analytics. Those organisations who submit data in the usual way will get the usual result. But if you would like your data to be useful and accurate, then something more is needed... so drop us a line: https://lnkd.in/ejP99zNN Nadine Carey-Whitehead Graham Bennett Rob Davenport Tim Eltze Greg Stevens Adrian Owen Rachel Lane Donna Smith https://lnkd.in/eFNPVV2v

We are excited and proud to share our latest work, an ambitious and innovative new collaboration - UKGrantmaking.org 🎉 The platform brings together data from regulators, funder accounts and data published using the 360Giving Data Standard to provide an interactive way to understand and explore grantmaking in the UK. It is a unique collaboration between 360Giving, Association of Charitable Foundations, ACO - The Association of Charitable Organisations, UK Community Foundations and ourselves, supported by Pears Foundation and CCLA Investment Management. Launched last month, it collates and analyses information available on grants made by UK grantmakers in 2022-23. Providing information on over £20bn of grants from across all grantmaking sectors to the voluntary, community and social sectors, UKGrantmaking is the definitive resource for grantmaking data and insights. Whether you are a funder interested in understanding the context your organisation works in, a charity developing strategies for fundraising, or a researcher/policy maker seeking to understand the trends in grantmaking, take a look at UKGrantmaking to help inform your work. The platform has been designed with interactive visualisations and tables that can be searched, sorted and downloaded, allowing easier access to insight into grantmaking than ever before. The research and analysis will be repeated annually and UKGrantmaking is intended to grow and evolve with each edition. It will enable 360Giving and partners to develop an approach to longer-term analysis that considers trends and provides a source of base data that can be used to “deep dive” into specific areas. We’re pleased that we have been able to bring partners together for this collaborative project to help us better understand grantmaking in the UK - and we’re excited to build on it in the years ahead. We’re proud that everyone can access this valuable data in one place for free, and that it is openly available for people to use for their own purposes. Sharing data in this way will make it easier for everyone to understand, to collaborate, and to support grantmaking to become more informed, effective and strategic. This data analysis would not be possible without the commitment of funders who publish their grant data openly so it can be used for collective research and analysis, so a big thank you to our community of 360Giving data publishers. Explore the platform and let us know what you think! UKGrantmaking.org #UKGrantmaking #OpenGrants #OpenData

#AI and data could help address many of the NHS’s challenges and potentially revolutionise clinical care and medical research across the public and private sectors. However, the Open Data Institute’s latest white paper, Building a Better Future with Data and AI, has identified significant weaknesses in the #governance of #data infrastructure that threaten potential gains for #healthcare. #Aiethics #ethicalai #artificialintelligence

Over the past 15 years, whilst other sectors have been “radically reshaped” by tech, Lord Darzi states that the NHS is “in the foothills of #digitaltransformation”. He highlights the last decade in particular as a missed opportunity to prepare the #NHS for the future by embracing technology and its ability to support a pivot from a ‘diagnose and treat’ model to one focused on prediction and prevention.
