Health Education England (HEE) have commissioned the University of Manchester to undertake a learning needs assessment and the creation of a capability framework to aid the learning and development of the healthcare workforce of England.

The use of digital technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare provides us with a series of opportunities and challenges. Digital disruption has transformed working practices in multiple industries.

AI will impact the health and care workforce and wider system.

Health and social care workers will need to adopt additional skills to work effectively with Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The capability framework provides capabilities for a wide section of the workforce.

The archetypes below outline the job roles of those who are involved in the framework.

There are several competency and capability frameworks currently available in this space so why do we need another one? This section will explain why the framework is needed and how it differs from existing ones.

The framework was generated utilising a mixed methods approach that applied co-design principles. A systematic literature review was carried out identifying academic papers. Other sources of information were also included, such as related national and international frameworks, policy documents and reports.

The framework is built on top of the general digital literacy skills which act as the foundation for digital health and social care. The next level relates to healthcare data and data literacy.

Bloom's Digital Taxonomy has been used as a basis for the creation of individual capability statements in the framework. The Taxonomy is explained throughout this section.
