# Health Data Readiness Level (HDRL) Assessment Framework

> The HDRL Framework is an open maturity framework for assessing readiness for trusted, federated health data research. Its first formative application was the 3 Nations Readiness Assessment; Research Data Scotland’s externally hosted Final Report is the authoritative source for assessment findings.
