Making data sharing in the public sector happen
Webinar looking ahead to Public Service Data Live (September 2024)
Sharing data is one of the key ways that public services can be revolutionized and personalized in the years ahead. Creating systems, policies and cultures where government data can be shared across organizational boundaries can unlock better integration across areas like healthcare, welfare and benefits and education.
Forming part of Global Government Forum’s Public Service Data Live conference, this webinar brought together those involved in making data sharing happen in government to discuss the barriers that still exist – and the steps governments have taken to overcome them.
This session covered:
- How government can create systems, policies and cultures to share data can be shared across organisational boundaries.
- How data can be used to improve services in areas like healthcare, welfare and benefits and education.
- The practical steps individual departments can take make their data easier to use.
