“…A longer time-frame of evaluation would be required to demonstrate any causal link between the intervention and effects on patient care and management. For example, a randomised controlled trial (RCT) to reliably assess effect and efficiency should only be conducted when the system has achieved reasonable stability [ 21 , 31 , 32 ].…”

“…A two-step quasi-experimental design was used to evaluate the adaptive phase of a teleneurophysiology intervention [ 21 - 24 ]. Using a one-group posttest-only approach, post-intervention observations were made without reference to any control group or control period [ 22 ].…”

“…Formative or constructive evaluation is appropriate in the early stages of an implementation which aims to examine operational aspects and identify any changes to the system that are required to achieve stable performance. When the structures and processes are optimized, summative evaluation becomes relevant and focuses on the measurement of outcomes such as changes in health status, quality of life, and cost-benefit analysis [ 12 , 13 , 17 , 21 ]. Summative evaluation requires longer time-frame to produce these effects.…”

“…Previously reported studies, conducted during the technical development or early adoption phase of tele-EEG, have demonstrated its technical feasibility together with healthcare provider and patient satisfaction with the system [ 5 - 7 , 9 - 11 , 21 ]. Brender [ 21 ] suggests that the next step in evaluating health informatics sytems should take place during the adaptation phase. This is the period immediately after a system has been put into operation and during which technical and process adjustments may be required to achieve stability.…”

“…This is the period immediately after a system has been put into operation and during which technical and process adjustments may be required to achieve stability. Therefore, the study presented in this paper is a formative assessment conducted in the adaptation phase [ 21 ] of a teleneurophysiology service to test the effectiveness of a telemedicine model of CN service delivery within bounded conditions.…”

BackgroundFormative evaluation is conducted in the early stages of system implementation to assess how it works in practice and to identify opportunities for improving technical and process performance. A formative evaluation of a teleneurophysiology service was conducted to examine its technical and sociological dimensions.MethodsA teleneurophysiology service providing routine EEG investigation was established. Service use, technical performance and satisfaction of clinical neurophysiology personnel were assessed qualitatively and quantitatively. These were contrasted with a previously reported analysis of the need for teleneurophysiology, and examination of expectation and satisfaction with clinical neurophysiology services in Ireland. A preliminary cost-benefit analysis was also conducted.ResultsOver the course of 40 clinical sessions during 20 weeks, 142 EEG investigations were recorded and stored on a file server at a satellite centre which was 130 miles away from the host clinical neurophysiology department. Using a virtual private network, the EEGs were accessed by a consultant neurophysiologist at the host centre for interpretation. The model resulted in a 5-fold increase in access to EEG services as well as reducing average waiting times for investigation by a half. Technically the model worked well, although a temporary loss of virtual private network connectivity highlighted the need for clarity in terms of responsibility for troubleshooting and repair of equipment problems. Referral quality, communication between host and satellite centres, quality of EEG recordings, and ease of EEG review and reporting indicated that appropriate organisational processes were adopted by the service. Compared to traditional CN service delivery, the teleneurophysiology model resulted in a comparable unit cost per EEG.ConclusionObservations suggest that when traditional organisational boundaries are crossed challenges associated with the social dimension of service delivery may be amplified. Teleneurophysiology requires a governance and management that recognises its socio-technical nature.

Evaluation of Iran’s HIS (hospital Information System) ergonomic quality using IsoMetric 9241 part 10 and compared results of that evaluation with results of ergonomic quality evaluation other softwares which evaluated by IsoMetric 9241 part 10. This research study was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, the researchers evaluated the HIS of 13 hospitals in Iran using ISO 9241 part 10, and in the second stage, they compared the evaluation results with the following softwares: a) IS-H*med (evaluated by Hamborg et al. 2004) b) SAP-HR (evaluated by Gruber 2000) c) Microsoft Word for Windows, Version 2 (evaluated by Gediga et al. 1999). For first stage used usability questionnaire called IsoMetrics which is based on the international standard ISO 9241 Part 10. This questionnaire is including 75 items based on the seven principles. Data analyzed using SPSS and Excel. The comparison between HIS and IS-H*med reveal that the former is significantly more usable than the latter in terms of all IsoMetrics sales. The HIS also proved to be significantly more applicable than SAP-HR in terms of such IsoMetrics scales as “suitability for task,” “suitability for learning”, “Error tolerance” and “learning ability”. However, HIS was found to be significantly less usable than Microsoft Word. The results of the study show that compared with the mentioned three softwares, Iran’s hospital information system enjoys an average ergonomic quality. Therefore, it is recommended that the users’ comments and expectations be considered more when information systems are designed and developed.

User-participatory development of FindMyApps; a tool to help people with mild dementia find supportive apps for self-management and meaningful activities

et al. 2019

Objective There is growing evidence that hand-held touchscreen devices (tablets) can support people with mild dementia to manage their life and engage in meaningful activities. However, as it can be difficult to find apps that match one’s personal needs, wishes and abilities, a person-centred selection tool was developed, called FindMyApps. Method To ensure its usability, the FindMyApps selection tool was developed using a ‘user-participatory design’ in which users (persons with dementia and informal carers), and experts (designers, developers and researchers) closely collaborated. In three short iterative rounds – so called ‘sprints’ – the users were invited to test whether the prototypes harmonised with their needs, wishes and abilities. Results Each sprint provided insight into potential improvements of the tool. The development team gained an understanding of issues regarding usefulness (e.g. meaningful content of (sub)categories for apps in domains of self-management and meaningful activities), as well as issues to increase the user-friendliness (e.g. intuitive design with instructive navigation support). Conclusion The FindMyApps selection tool was conceived as a means to make it easier for people with mild dementia to select apps meeting their needs, wishes and abilities. This provisional end version will be further tested, and, if necessary, improved in a feasibility study.
