Connected Health is an emerging model of care that engages technology to improve patient care and
(re)habilitation. It encourages self-efficacy by developing client-centred care pathways and evidence-based
interventions to reduce the need for hospital-led care and empower patients in their homes. It also promotes
improved âconnectivityâ between healthcare stakeholders by means of timely sharing and presentation of
accurate and pertinent information about patient status. Connected Health initiatives can achieve this
through smarter use of data, devices, communication platforms and people. However, there are few efforts
which have established an evaluation model to encapsulate and assess the value and potential impact of
Connected Health solutions from multiple stakeholdersâ perspectives. We examined information systems
(IS) and health information systems (HIS) literature to identify whether a model could apply to Connected
Health. However, many of the evaluation models are narrow in focus but have influenced our development
of the Connected Health Evaluation Framework (CHEF). CHEF offers a generic approach which
encapsulates a holistic view of a Connected Health evaluation process. It focuses on four key domains: end-user
perception, business growth, quality management and healthcare practice.
