Paper Abstract:
|
EHRs are information systems aiming to collect health information regarding both individuals and population. EHRs are also communication systems, as data collections could be shared and used to better support medical cares or health institution processes, performance and services. During the last decade, EHR diffusion has been increasing, but the goals of its use have not ever been clearly defined, nor the expected results have been quantified in advance. Therefore, even if many researchers have published more and more papers regarding EHR evaluation, the meaning of the word evaluation is not unambiguous. Thanks to a large survey including academic peer review papers, the author defines the different meaning of EHR evaluation. Afterwards, she classifies the different evaluation practices and methods in a scale, from the less to the more meaningful for the citizens wellbeing. Finally, she puts together different evaluation practices, to build a comprehensive evaluation framework for EHR. |
