Digital technology is integrated into our lives. As technology is evolving rapidly, we want the health and social care workforce to be fully competent, confident and capable in its use in the workplace.
Excellent digital capabilities include a positive attitude towards technology and innovation and its potential to improve care and outcomes. However, evidence suggests that to achieve this, we need to develop a digitally literate health and care workforce for today and the future.
We define digital literacy as, “those capabilities that fit someone for living, learning, working, participating and thriving in a digital society".
This is a wide area but is fundamental to delivering safe, effective and person-centred 21st Century care. It is underpinned by getting the right knowledge to the right people at the right time as. It is also about people in the workforce and those in training being comfortable, confident and feeling better equipped to work in a digital environment.
To achieve this, we need to provide easy to access learning and development for everyone and for the professions. Importantly, this needs to include both specialist content (for example genomics or AI as subjects) and more generic content (for example prescribing patient apps or professional social media use).
