Abstract

E-health is an important support technology in healthcare with considerable aspirations, but one which bypasses the normal requirement to prove a system's effectiveness or safety. There is therefore an ethical duty to evaluate systems scientifically, and thereby also to raise the scientific standing of the health informatics discipline. To assist in the development of this science, and arising out of a European Science Foundation exploratory workshop, guidelines on conducting robust evaluations have been prepared. This paper reports the results of that development work.
