This project will improve the impact of data on health services in Scotland. Analysis will be used to help understand how the system is currently performing and used to drive improvements.

Analysis will be prioritised where there is a clear link to improving performance and delivery. This will involve reviewing the analytical needs of policy colleagues and co-designing outputs that answer specific requirements.

The project may focus on specific areas, like mental health services for example, or may look more widely at how different parts of the system interact with each other.

The project will explore different ways of presenting data to meet the needs of different audiences, with a focus on impactful analysis that supports meaningful action to improve services.
