David Philp, impact director for the CIH, said: “Through engagement with NHS Scotland Assure, we have been helping create a framework and tools to establish the high-level principles, methods and the target technology architecture needed to create a digital and connected estate.
“This work underpins the NHS Scotland drive towards a digital estate and an information-led approach through assurance and improvement management systems (AIMS), their enterprise level common data environment.”
Louise Sykes, senior digital estate and asset management adviser for NHS Scotland Assure, part of NHS National Services Scotland, said: “The collaboration with the CIH has been instrumental in assisting Health Boards with their digital transformation journeys.
“We are now working together on further innovative developments, including a digital estate prioritisation tool. This will be rolled out and implemented as part of an ambition to digitise the Scottish Healthcare built environment at scale.”
