Abstract
eHealth indicators are needed to measure defined aspects of national
eHealth implementations. However, until now, eHealth indicators are ambiguous
or unclear. Therefore, an expert workshop "Towards an International Minimum
Dataset for Monitoring National Health Information System Implementations" was
organized. The objective was to develop ideas for a minimum eHealth indicator set. The proposed ideas for indicators were classified based on EUnetHTA and De-Lone & McClean, and classification was compared with health IT evaluation criteria classification by Ammenwerth & Keizer. Analysis of the workshop results emphasized the need for a common methodological framework for defining and classifying eHealth indicators. It also showed the importance of setting the indicators into context. The results will benefit policy makers, developers and researchers in pursuit of provision and use of evidence in management of eHealth systems.
