Goal 2: Data and analytics ecosystem

​​​A modern data and analytics ecosystem that delivers value, safely

What will this mean?

Goal 2 is about modernising our data and analytics ecosystem so that is is both fit-for-purpose and future-fit.

• A data and analytics ecosystem that enables NSW Health to work in a more connected, joined-up way across the full data lifecycle - with the right tools in place so that the simple is easier and the difficult is possible.
• Data held by NSW Health are organised and structured in standardised and streamlined ways - where possible, collected once and used multiple times.
• Data sharing is streamlined so that the right people have access at the right time - enabling safe, high-quality health care, an efficient and effective health system, better population outcomes, and improving health equity.
• NSW Health's data and analytics ecosystem is modernised across the full data lifecycle, supporting efficient data collection, management, analysis and reuse.

Why does this matter?

NSW Health holds data about: individual patients, services and populations; its workforce and operations; and so much more. These data are used to generate valuable insights – something that currently requires great manual effort. Goal 2 is about driving toward a more streamlined, interconnected data and analytics ecosystem across the NSW Health system because this is key to better, faster insights, improved experiences and outcomes and more equitable access to safe, quality care for our people, patients, carers and communities.

What is the work to be done?

• Data and analytics architecture.
• Integrated data landscape.
  
• Secure, central access and request.
  
• Common, fit-for-purpose tools.
