3. National Information Board & Social Care
Over the last year ADASS and the LGA have been influencing the work of the National Information Board whichis shaping plans for the use of digital and technology in health and care.
The National Information Board has established the framework for a delivery programme for Paperless 2020 based on 10 domains and 33 individual programmes (see Tim Donohoe's slides from the conference for more information). £4.2bn is being allocated over the next few years to thisand a significant number of these programmes will have implications(and potential benefits) for social care.
This includes programmes focused on infrastructure, development of datasets,interoperability, provision of online information, activity to improve directories of services, information sharing / information governance, the development and accreditation of apps and a range of other activity.
As the programmes move towards delivery we have been emphasising the need to engage with social care (including Local Authorities) to ensure that they meet the requirements of the sector, and opportunitiesfor local areas to pilot new ways of working.This may include being part of a project board or linking in with the programme.
We are therefore seeking interest from the sector where you may want to be involved - particularly if the work is based on an interest area or where you might already be undertaking activity locally.
If you are interested in participating please register your interest using this link (please edit the spreadsheet directly - it will update automatically).We will then contact you to discuss next steps.
