On 12th July 2023, the Telecare Information Framework for Scotland (TIF) was launched.
The framework, formerly known as the Scottish Telecare Minimum Dataset, comprises an agreed core set of defined fields which capture information that illustrates how people use telecare services. The intelligence which can be gleaned from the data in the framework will help services to:
- make decisions about care for individuals
- plan and develop their services
- contribute to the national picture about the impact of telecare for the people who use it and for the services which are connected to it
The Framework has been co-designed by service providers using the Scottish Approach to Service Design. It has been designed to allow for further iteration as services evolve and appropriate governance arrangements for that are being put in place.
