Computable Records: The Next Generation of the EMR Conversation Rimpiläinen, Sanna This research reports looks at examples of computable medical records around the world in 2016. Computable records are set to drive the evolution of Electronic Health Records (EHRs), aiming for interoperability, portability, and comprehensive health data. These records, readable by humans and machines, will contain a patient's entire medical history and declare their fidelity level, ensuring users can assess completeness and accuracy. Unique and ideally open-source, these records will support a health status scoring system and facilitate adoption across various stakeholders.

Transforming Diabetes Care Through Innovation: Identifying Priorities and Mapping The Diabetes Innovation Landscape In Scotland Teal, Gemma, Bruce, Angela and Rossi, Gabriele Transforming Diabetes Care through Innovation is a project undertaken by the DHI on behalf of the Scottish Health and Industry Partnership and the Scottish Diabetes Innovation Technology Group. The project aimed to map the current diabetes innovation landscape, gathering an overview of innovation projects undertaken in Scotland with the potential to impact the experiences of people living with diabetes in the next five years. Through engagement with people living with diabetes and relevant health, care and third-sector professionals, it sought to understand unmet needs and identify gaps in the diabetes innovation landscape. This will inform future innovation funding calls for diabetes that are centred on the needs and aspirations of people living with diabetes and the professionals who support them.

Review and Analysis of the Digital Health Sector and Skills for Scotland Rimpiläinen, Sanna and Morrison, Ciarán and Rooney, Laura The research report explores the skills issues in Scotland's digital health sector in 2017-18, which is rapidly growing and demanding skilled personnel. There's a notable shortage of professionals proficient in both ICT and health and care, and the existing education and training offerings are limited, mostly at post-graduate level. The research findings suggest bridging the gap between education and sector needs is crucial for Scotland to capitalize on the expanding digital health market, requiring a review of education provision, closer collaboration with industry, and raising awareness of the sector's importance.

Process Evaluation for Technology Enabled Atrial Fibrillation Screening after a Stroke in Scotland Lennon, Marilyn and McCann, Lisa and Horan, Sarah and Kyfonidis, Babis and Munford, Rachel and Bruce, Angela and Neubeck, Lis and Barber, Mark and Brennan, Katrina and Mooney, Pamela Diagnosing Atrial Fibrillation (AF) post-stroke is crucial, but its intermittent nature makes detection challenging during hospitalisation. A pilot program in NHS Lanarkshire explored a new managed service for AF screening using devices allowing 14 days of home monitoring, with reports generated by the service provider. Interviews with clinicians and patients highlighted acceptability and the need for further exploration regarding report generation preferences. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers and healthcare managers planning technology-enabled AF monitoring services. View resource Next item Previous item Home / Resources (Item) /

Care 4.0: An Integrated Care Paradigm Built on Industry 4.0 Capabilities Chute, Chaloner and French, Tara This paper provides an overview of trends in Scottish health and social care policy, summarises an emerging Industry 4.0 toolset that is transforming other sectors, and then demonstrates the use of this toolset for optimisation of transactional healthcare provision. It then argues that there is little progress in the use of these capabilities for integrated, person-centred care services. View resource Next item Previous item Home / Resources (Item) /

Using Games Based Learning to Support Young People with Learning Disabilities Stay Safe Online Usoro, Idong, and Connolly, Thomas and Raman, Sneha and French, Tara and Caulfield, Stuart While there are examples of resources that promote online safety for people with learning disabilities, young people, carers, and practitioners in one area of Scotland have indicated the necessity to have a centralised and interactive resource to encourage people to develop online safety skills and understand how to stay healthy and safe online. These are primarily physical resources such as worksheets, slides, and booklets with limited interactive content. In this paper we discuss an alternative approach that uses an immersive games-based learning tool to train and influence the behaviour of young people with learning disabilities. The online safety tool has potential to help community, acute health/social workers or guardians educate and monitor the online vulnerability and safety of a young person with a learning disability.

Fostering engagement through creative collaboration Teal, Gemma and French, Tara and Hepburn, Leigh-Anne and Raman, Sneha Design innovation aims to tackle complex societal challenges through new design practices and bespoke methods of engagement (McAra-McWilliam, 2012). Creative collaboration is a core aspect of design innovation practice, involving diverse stakeholders including academic, business, and civic partners, and importantly end users within the design process. Consequently, the focus of design has shifted from the artefact or outcome to the design of an open and participative process that relies on the direct contextual insight of participants, their creativity and lived experience, and is inclusive of a multiplicity of perspectives. Through examples, we discuss the tools, artefacts and activities that support participants to meaningfully engage with ideas, and strategies for curating groups and managing collaboration. We share design learning regarding engagement and the resulting impact on people, processes, and outcomes, and consider how this approach may be applied in other contexts to foster engagement.
