The NHS Digital Mapping Data Agreement has been developed to provide the NHS with a sector wide digital mapping agreement and act as a key resource for unlocking answers to highly detailed geographical problems.
It has been used for supporting strategic decision making, the identification of health inequalities, causal analysis and trends. These factors can guide strategic decisions on the targeting of services to clinical hotspots, investment priorities, the extension of patient choice and the supply of public health information.
The new NHS Agreement has been put in place through an EU-wide competitive tendering process, with the new contract being awarded to Dotted Eyes. It is a four-year framework agreement, which offers best value to NHS organisations.
