Evaluating large-scale health information systems presents challenges. Developing a robust evaluation framework is essential for planning, understanding results, and making predictions for these complex systems.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Information Systems Evaluation

Background:

  • Large-scale health information systems are often incrementally developed from existing legacy systems.
  • This incremental development introduces significant methodological and practical challenges for evaluators.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the difficulties encountered in multidisciplinary, multi-method evaluations of health information systems.
  • To propose the necessity of an evaluation framework for these systems.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of methodological and practical problems in evaluating complex health information systems.
  • Exploration of multidisciplinary and multi-method evaluation approaches.

Main Results:

  • Evaluations of incrementally developed health information systems face unique challenges.
