Driving the digital strategy The last decade has seen a big push to drive a digital agenda , with Scotland ’ s first Digital Health & Care Strategy published in 2018 . It was a bold and ambitious strategy that recognised care for the people in Scotland can , and should , be enhanced and transformed through the use of digital technology . What the 2018 strategy could not have envisaged is the pace and scale of change brought about by the coronavirus pandemic . This necessitated a rapid expansion and use of a wide variety of digital tools to support the continued safe and effective delivery of care , hence the need for a refresh of the strategy to reflect these advances and build on successes .
The refreshed strategy is underpinned by the " Once for Scotland " approach , which exists to avoid duplication of work .
