Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent ICB collaborates on health data initiative

Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board, in partnership with Lichfield District Council and Impera Analytics Ltd, have announced a groundbreaking initiative to improve community wellbeing by sharing anonymised NHS health data. This collaboration will utilize Lichfield District Council’s innovative Social Progress Index, which assesses the quality of life at a local ward level by integrating data sources such as homelessness and crime statistics. By including NHS health data in this index, the district council will gain valuable insights into residents’ needs and allocate resources effectively. This strategic partnership aims to revolutionize public health management and set a new standard for informed, targeted governance. Through data analytics and a shared commitment to community wellness, this collaboration seeks to address health inequalities and promote overall wellness in the region.
