Abstract:
:Health care providers and purchasers of health services have an opportunity to improve patient care and potentially save costs through the wise purchase of interactive health communication applications for patients and employees. Purchasing decisions based on evaluation and evidence should drive the design and development of new systems. The cycle of evaluation includes a needs assessment before system development, usability testing during development, and studies of use and outcomes in natural settings. This type of evidence is critical to our understanding of how best to provide health information and decision assistance to patients, employees, and others.
