Cost-effectiveness of standards-driven eHealth interoperability (study report)

This deliverable led by IHE will examine interoperability from an economic point of view, assessing ways to improve cost effectiveness. In eHealth it always a challenge to describe correctly the cost-effectiveness and simply to evaluate the contribution of the ITC in eHealth. In this deliverable we will use a methodology based on multi dimensional evaluation grid for Health and Autonomy (GEMSA) that was used in several projects. The result will reflect a better evaluation of the cost-effectiveness of standards.
