The Innovative uses of data service is closed and no longer available for use.

Overview

Innovative uses of data aimed to deliver online tools for use by those involved in the planning, delivery or evaluation of care. These tools, usually in the form of interactive graphics, would support one of 3 objectives:

  1. Better value from data - providing an analytical service for the NHS and researchers that would otherwise have to be paid for.
  2. Doing more with data - undertaking new types of analyses that generate insight that has not been possible before.
  3. Increasing access to data - harnessing technology to deliver intelligence to stakeholders, even if they don't have technical skills or understand data terminology.
