Working Paper
Johnston, L., Hockley, J., Henderson, D. A., & Shenkin, S. D. The Development of a Care Home Data Platform in Scotland: Insights from the Care Home Innovation Partnership, Lothian

Care homes collect a large amount of data about their residents, and the care provided, but there is a lack of consistency in how this information is collected. There is also a need to minimise the burden of data collection on staff, ensure informati...
