Three aims
1. To continually improve and optimise the health and social care
system to deliver better care, more efficiently, by providing
actionable information to inform decision making at all levels.
This is known as a Learning Health System (LHS).
2. To establish a social contract with the population that gives
license to use healthcare data for the public good.
