eHealth Evaluation Tool eHealth has emerged as an important tool
for improving health care delivery and effectiveness. Evaluation of eHealth
programs is necessary for better understanding of factors related to eHealth
and the stages of application that they are most likely to influence. This eHealth evaluation tool was to develop based on a comprehensive
conceptual eHealth Evaluation Framework named Khoja-Durrani-Scott
(KDS) which included relevant theories for evaluating use of technology in
different stages of eHealth programs. This tool offers a comprehensive platform for evaluating the health
projects and programs using Information and Communication Technology. The tool
contains questions regarding health, technology, economic, readiness and change
management, social and cultural, ethical, and policy outcomes of an eHealth
program measured at various stages of any eHealth program/project
i.e. development, Implementation, Integration and sustained operation. The tool
is also further divided into three categories to be filled by Managers,
Staff and Clients. This tool provides the
range of areas that are part of health programs, and get affected by or
influence eHealth interventions. eHealth evaluation
for any Health program should not be limited to health outcomes or economic
analysis, but should cover all themes identified in the KDS tool. |
