Spotting the SITS opportunities in 'Personalised Health & Care'

In his Autumn Statement earlier today, Chancellor George Osborne promised an additional £2bn of funding for the health service every year and an additional £1.5bn for GP services. In so doing the government is lending its support to the NHS’ plans for change, which were set out by NHS England’s Chief Executive, Simon Stevens, in the Five Year Forward View (5YFV) in October. The plans call for new models of service delivery to help close a £30bn funding gap that would otherwise appear by 2020/21, and have a significant IT component.

The commitment to exploit technology and data that was outlined in 5YFV, was built upon in the National Information Board’s (NIB’s) eagerly anticipated ‘framework for action’, entitled Personalised Health and Care 2020, which was published last month. The framework's proposals represent the immediate priorities for the delivery of modern digital health and care services. And - together with the Five Year Forward View - they look set to shape developments in the English NHS and social care IT markets for many years.

In the latest report from TechMarketView’s PublicSectorViews research stream we examine the proposals contained within Personalised Health and Care 2020 and analyse the implications for SITS suppliers, highlighting areas of opportunity.
