\nThe Health Foundation has published NHS performance and waiting times<\/a>. This long read explores how the NHS in England is performing and sets out priorities for the next government. The briefing concludes that if the NHS is to achieve its long-term vision of a service that can prevent ill-health, better manage long-term conditions, and treat people earlier, NHS staff will need time, space and skills to make change at all levels of the health and care system<\/p>\n

\nThe Health Foundation has published The nation\u2019s health: priorities for the next government<\/a>.\u00a0 This document suggests any new government should look to address some of the long-term trends in health, including the stalling of long-term improvements in life expectancy and widening health inequalities. This will require action that goes beyond the health and social care system; it also requires mechanisms that hold government to account for national progress on health.<\/p>\n

\nThe Health Foundation has produced the Analytical Capability Index<\/a>, a tool to allow health and care organisations to measure and benchmark their current capability in using data analytics.\u00a0 The Health Foundation is inviting health and care organisations to assess their analytical capability by answering key questions about how their organisation uses analytics. Participants will be scored on key areas of analytical capability and receive access to case studies and useful resources to improve their analytical capability.<\/p>\n
