On demand recording now available
The early waves of the pandemic starkly illustrated the impact of social determinants on health, sometimes leading to an enhanced focus on providing equal access to healthcare. The question now is how the NHS might maintain that focus, further enhance the determination to combat structural inequalities, and successfully intervene to improve the lives of individuals and communities.
Some hope that integrated care systems – now statutory – could be part of the answer, by more formally bringing together organisations in a health and care economy. But if action is to be possible, then data is going to be central.
How, then, can ICSs most effectively collect and use data to combat health inequalities? Are there existing population health management approaches which might be further built upon? Could and should local areas consolidate IT systems to make information sharing more straightforward? What are the obstacles with getting the right data to the right place to be acted upon? And how can those obstacles be overcome?
This HSJ webinar, run in association with Oracle Cerner, brought together a small panel to discuss these important questions.
A recording of the session is now available.
