Towards evidence-based adoption and scale-up of "cost-saving" primary health care innovations

服务整合、护理协调和信息技术（如短信提醒、远程视频咨询、远程监控）等创新的共同点是，它们改变了患者-提供者界面，比改善临床结果更可靠、更一致。因此，为了确定它们的真实成本和收益，如何在其中进行选择以及如何扩大规模，本研究计划将根据它们如何改变患者-提供者交易的措施对其进行评估。

What innovations like service integration, care coordination and information technology (e.g. text message reminders, remote video consultations, remote monitoring) have in common is that they alter the patient-provider interface, more reliably and consistently than improving clinical outcomes. So, to determine their true costs and benefits, how to select among them and how to scale them up, this research program will assess them based on measures of how they alter patient-provider transactions.
