Abstract
  • In recent years, the digital agenda in health care has been the subject of an array of promises and plans, ranging from the Secretary of State’s challenge to the NHS to ‘go paperless’ to the commitment set out in the NHS’s Five Year Forward View to ‘harness the information revolution’. But have expectations been set too high? And is there sufficient clarity about the funding available to achieve this vision? This report looks at the key commitments made and what we know about progress to date, grouped under three broad themes: interoperable electronic health records; patient-focused digital technology; and secondary use of data, transparency and consent. It identifies barriers to further progress and opportunities for delivering on the digital agenda.
