Mental health: NHS looks to digital and data to close 'historic treatment gap'

Mental health: NHS looks to digital and data to close 'historic treatment gap' The NHS is to embark upon a programme through which it hopes to improve its use of digital technology and data in order to close the “historic treatment gap in mental health provision”.

National body NHS England and Improvement is shortly planning to launch a four-month discovery exercise, during which it plans to undertake “multiple investigatory pieces of work” looking at how tech platforms and data sharing could – at a local level – be incorporated into care pathways for patients accessing mental-health services.
