Improving population health outcomes remains a critical priority for the NHS as it addresses long-standing health inequalities affecting communities. The integration of digital solutions is essential for improving access and personalising care, enabling healthcare systems to respond more effectively to the unique needs of local populations.

As ICSs work to implement strategies that align with the broader goals of improving health outcomes and patient experiences, digital technologies facilitate the collection and analysis of data necessary for informed decision-making. This allows for the development of targeted services that can address specific health disparities, ultimately contributing to a more efficient and equitable healthcare system.

This award will go to an organisation or system that has leveraged digital products or services to gain deep insights into the needs of their local population and/or used them to develop new services and care pathways off the back of these insights to reduce inequalities and provide more personalised care. Judges will be looking for collaborative and creative solutions that are generating measurable improvements and will be particularly impressed by those involving multiple stakeholders from across the system.

Eligibility

  • All NHS organisations (including providers, partnerships, and systems), General Practice and primary care organisations. Local authorities, VCSEs and providers of social care are also welcome to apply.
  • Evidence must relate to a project that is ongoing or completed within the 2 years up until the award entry deadline.

Ambition

  • Describe the scope of the project – what were the project aims and what strategic thinking was done before bringing technology to the table?
  • Define the intended goals and measures of success, particularly in relation to improving population health outcomes and patient experiences.
  • Discuss how the wider determinants of health, governance, ethics and safety were considered in the strategic planning and project/product design.

Outcome

  • Share how either the project/product was seamlessly developed and deployed whilst retaining the existing service to minimise disruption to patients and staff, or if a new area, how everyone was on-boarded to ensure a seamless go-live.
  • Share supporting information on the outcome of any intelligence gathering or data collection, and what process, service, or pathway change recommendations were made to operational/clinical colleagues as a result.
  • Evidence the performance of the project and resulting process changes against targets, including any financial, operational, on-time delivery, or clinical metrics that contribute to overall system efficiency.

Value

  • Discuss how this digital project or product has supported the broader mission to deliver personalised care across the system and how it will achieve lasting impact on population health.
  • Evidence any direct benefits to staff and patients as a result of the project. This should be quantitative and qualitative, highlighting improvements in patient satisfaction and staff engagement.
  • Share any other value generated, including unintended benefits of the project that enhance the overall healthcare experience.

Involvement

  • Describe and provide testimonial evidence of the working relationship between the technology partner (if relevant) and the NHS organisation that enabled a genuinely co-produced product or service.
  • Share how data governance and safety concerns were addressed to engage and involve all relevant stakeholders across the system (including wider partners such as VCSEs) in the development and implementation of the initiative, ensuring collaborative engagement throughout.
  • Explain how patients, carers and communities were fully engaged in the co-design, planning and implementation of the product or service.

Spread

  • Describe and if possible, evidence how the learnings from the project have been shared across or beyond your organisation/system.
