Paper Abstract:
|
E-health is an important support technology in healthcare with considerable aspirations, but one which bypasses the
normal requirement to prove a systems effectiveness or safety. There is therefore an ethical duty to evaluate systems
scientifically, and thereby also to raise the scientific standing of the health informatics discipline. To assist in the
development of this science, and arising out of a European Science Foundation exploratory workshop, guidelines on
conducting robust evaluations have been prepared. This paper reports the results of that development work. |
