The purpose of this document is to serve as a comprehensive reference guide to digital concepts. It aims to define and explain common terms frequently encountered in digital programs, thereby fostering a shared understanding, and increasing awareness of digital terminology and practices.
In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, it is helpful to have a unified understanding of key concepts. This guide aims to bridge any gaps in knowledge, ensuring that all colleagues, regardless of their department or role, can confidently engage with digital programmes and initiatives. By defining and explaining frequently encountered terms, the guide seeks to foster a shared understanding of digital terminology and practices.
Furthermore, as digital technologies and methodologies advance, staying informed about the latest terminology and practices becomes essential. We know that technology moves at pace and so we aim to keep this a dynamic document, and welcome suggestions for additional terms as they come into use. Please feel free to email any suggested additions to Ben.Jackson@healthinnovationeast.co.uk.
This reference guide is for anyone who might find it useful to gain a better understanding of digital or technological terminology in relation to health and care. However, it may be particularly useful to colleagues in the East of England, as we have also included organisations and partnerships specific to the East of England region.
