Applying an evaluation framework for health information system design, development, and implementation

Article Abstract:

The application of an informatics evaluation framework that provides a heuristic for matching the stage of system design and level of evaluation is illustrated. The advanced information system helps in increasing the understanding of their effective use in complex settings and to adapt them to a range of user population, but without sound evaluation methodologies throughout the stages of system development, information systems have less potential to influence healthcare processes.
