Our Aims

HDI is a social enterprise that has been set up to act as a trusted and reliable Information Broker. We aim to do three things:



Improving access

to data and insight for all existing and potential users, service providers and commissioners of healthcare services.

Providing resources

so that patients and the public understand the value of their own and other healthcare data.



Mapping care pathways

by supporting commissioners and providers in the delivery of improved care pathways and outcomes to ensure patients receive the best care.

“Data is changing the way diseases are treated and patients are cared for.
At HDI we find and join-up complex data from across the health landscape and turn this information into insight for patients, the public and healthcare professionals.”
