Analytics Assurance Review Service
Accelerating Artificial Intelligence in health and care: results from a state of the nation survey’ was published recently during the NHS Health and Care Innovation Expo in Manchester.
Compiled by the Department of Health, NHS England and The AHSN Network, the report assesses the state of artificial intelligence in the UK healthcare sector, its potential impacts and the barriers to greater adoption.
It concludes that while AI is anticipated to have a transformative impact on healthcare, a lot of groundwork will be needed in the interim.
A key finding of the report is that we need to ensure that we develop the requisite capacity and capability within the NHS in order to be able to embrace these opportunities.
I would argue that this needs to start with the information analyst element of the informatics workforce. Not only do we need to deliver an appropriate data infrastructure but we need to have the right analytical capability to interrogate the data.
AphA are offering the opportunity to have an independent review of your current analytical capacity and capability to deliver in what will inevitably be a more challenging environment than currently.
