目标：信息技术（IT）正在医疗保健领域兴起。建议对这一技术进行严格的评价，这对决策者和用户都非常重要。然而，许多作者报告的问题，在评估信息技术在医疗保健。在本文中，我们讨论了其中的一些问题，并提出了可能的解决方案，这些问题。研究方法：根据自己的经验和文献回顾的支持下，一些重要的问题，在IT评估在医疗保健及其原因，后果和可能的解决方案提出和结构。结果与结论：我们定义了三个主要的问题领域-评估对象的复杂性，评估项目的复杂性和评估的动机。许多评价问题可归入这三个问题领域。一个广泛接受的框架，评估IT在医疗保健似乎是可取的，以解决这些问题。这种框架应有助于提出相关问题，找到适当的方法和工具，并以合理的方式加以应用。(C)2003年由Elsevier爱尔兰有限公司出版
Objectives: Information technology (IT) is emerging in health care. A rigorous evaluation of this technology is recommended and of high importance for decision makers and users. However, many authors report problems during the evaluation of information technology in health care. In this paper, we discuss some of these problems, and propose possible solutions for these problems. Methods: Based on own experience and backed up by a literature review, some important problems during IT evaluation in health care together with their reasons, consequences and possible solutions are presented and structured. Results and conclusions: We define three main problem areas-the complexity of the evaluation object, the complexity of an evaluation project, and the motivation for evaluation. Many evaluation problems can be subsumed under those three problem areas. A broadly accepted framework for evaluation of IT in healthcare seems desirable to address those problems. Such a framework should help to formulate relevant questions, to find adequate methods and tools, and to apply them in a sensible way. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
