Dental Informatics
Programme Summary
The Dental Informatics programme will develop and enhance dental information and support eHealth developments for dentistry in Scotland, so that better-informed decisions can be made for the delivery of better dental services and better oral health.
Building an ISD-hosted dental data warehouse governed by a dedicated project board is at the heart of the Programme's plans for SHIS-Dental - a data warehouse and access portal for stakeholders across the NHS, using the Scottish Health Information Service.
