Developing a unified framework is crucial for evaluating telehealth success. This framework helps categorize findings and build cumulative research on information and communication technology investments in healthcare.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Healthcare Management
  • Information Systems Research

Background:

  • Telehealth implementation involves significant resource investment, necessitating clear measures of success.
  • Existing research on telehealth success is challenged by the wide variability in applications, data, and organizational contexts.
  • A standardized evaluation framework is needed to synthesize diverse research findings and guide future studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a conceptual framework for evaluating telehealth success, integrating quality assessment models.
  • To address the challenges in generalizing telehealth research findings across different settings and applications.
  • To provide a structured approach for accumulating evidence on telehealth effectiveness and impact.

Main Methods:

  • Leveraging Donabedian's quality assessment model (structure-process-outcome) as a foundation.
  • Integrating DeLone and McLean's information system success definitions within the telehealth context.
  • Reviewing various evaluation approaches like Health Technology Assessment and Program Evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Identified key success factors: technical acceptability, cost-effectiveness, organizational support, user satisfaction, and patient outcomes (e.g., quality of life).
  • Highlighted the need for improved study designs regarding comparison groups, participant selection, and comprehensive outcome measurement.
  • Emphasized the lack of understanding regarding the interrelationships between success factors and their generalizability.

Conclusions:

  • A conceptual framework based on quality and IS success models can better categorize telehealth research.
  • Standardized evaluation frameworks are essential for accumulating evidence and advancing telehealth research.
  • Further research is needed to explore the relationships among identified success factors and their applicability across diverse telehealth implementations.
