Abstract:
:The working group on technology assessment and quality development in health informatics was established as a follow-up to the recommendations made at the IMIA-ISTAHC working conference in 1990. The working group was approved by the IMIA General Assembly at Kyoto, September, 1993. The working group aims to further develop the field of technology assessment and quality development in health informatics, by: promoting consensus development on methodological issues; promoting comprehensive assessment of health care information technologies, for instance by providing expertise; demonstrating the value and importance of assessment of health care information technologies, to health care decision makers, health care providers and developers of information technologies.
