A new framework, CHEATS, evaluates information communication technologies using mixed methods. It is effective across various clinical settings, highlighting the need for multidisciplinary evaluation of emerging tech in real-world services.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Technology Assessment
  • Clinical Evaluation

Background:

  • Evaluating new information communication technologies (ICTs) in healthcare is complex.
  • Existing evaluation methods may not adequately address the nuances of real-world clinical implementation.
  • A standardized approach is needed to assess the efficacy and appropriateness of emerging health technologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a generic framework, CHEATS, for evaluating ICTs.
  • To demonstrate the framework's applicability across diverse clinical settings.
  • To emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in technology evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • The CHEATS framework integrates qualitative and quantitative research methodologies.
