"Expected digital and technology themes NHS Long Term Plan

• Although at the time of writing the Long-Term Plan has not yet published, we anticipate that there will be a number of proposals relating to digital and technology that will support new models of health and care.
• We expect that the plan will set out a number of priorities with particular relevance for NHS Digital: 
• Continued focus on empowering the patient with digital tools to support prevention, to accelerate channel choices and to support self-management of conditions. 
• Continued focus on digital enablement of pathways including maternity, mental health, diabetes, child and adolescent, and end of life care.
• Digital offers for primary care will be promoted. 
• The acceleration of the roll out of Local Health and Care Record Exemplars will support several Integrated Care Systems, population health management and streamlining patient pathways.
• The continued focus on the roll out of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems. 
• A focus on research and innovation through the use of data, in keeping with the goals of the Life Sciences and Industrial Strategy Sector deal published last week."
