Contents
Background
Evaluation in HIS includes assessing the “quality, value, effects, and impacts of information technology” as well as its implementation that leads to improvements and evidence-based practices. However, difficultly in evaluation may begin with identifying what area to first start in or an approach that will function optimally. Methods This study looked at a subjectivist approach for evaluation by hosting a program called New Approaches to the Systematic Evaluation of Health Information Sciences (HIS-EVAL) served as a forum to discuss barriers and problems to evaluation, creation of visions for evaluation needs, as well as action steps to achieve strategic evaluation
Results
Participants of the HIS-EVAL created a Declaration of Innsbruck [2]which pointed out observations and recommendations of what should be considered for evaluation of HIS.
Conclusions
This workshop served as a forum for the European network and possibly a framework for future evaluation use of HIS.
Comments
This article was interesting as it presenting some of the difficulties facing evaluation of health information and its systems. Additionally, from a subjectivist approach, it allows for different minds and theorist to come together to decide what reasons and ideas could be used for standardizing evaluation methods.
