What we do
About our project
Background
eHealth technologies are suggested as solutions to make general practice more efficient and reduce the workload on providers. However, while there are a lot of new eHealth tools, there is often not enough evidence to show that they actually work. Moreover, it is unclear how eHealth technologies in general practice should be evaluated
Hypothesis
Our goal is to develop a practical framework and checklist to help general practitioners evaluate eHealth technologies effectively, ensuring that only the most beneficial ones are implemented to improve patient care.
Methods
The study will consist of two phases of Delphi rounds. One phase to develop a consensus-based framework and a second phase to develop an accompanying checklist. Each phase will have a maximum of four Delphi rounds, one to brainstorm statements and a maximum of three following rounds to achieve consensus.
The Delphi study will be held with an expert panel, representing a broad group of stakeholders with expertise in the field of eHealth technologies in general practice. These are: general practitioners, supporting staff, patients, researchers, design and implementation experts, information officers, legal experts, policy makers and insurers.
