Summary
This report by the thinktank Public Policy Projects makes a series of recommendations to national government, local government, care providers and technology providers which, if implemented, will aid in the digitisation of the care sector for the benefit of people being supported and cared for, the social care workforce, and the NHS.
Digital transformation across the adult social care sector is happening at a rapid pace. Despite being initially slower to adopt technology than colleagues working in the NHS and other health settings, since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic the care sector has been quick to adopt digital social care recording (DSCR) systems, alongside a range of transformative assistive and support technology. In the face of the immense strain on England’s social care system, due to an ageing population combined with chronic funding and workforce challenges, the effective implementation of the right technology could support the people providing care and support and those in receipt of support and provides an opportunity for a better quality of life.
