Description
This Handbook provides a complete compendium of methods for evaluation of IT-based systems and solutions within healthcare. Emphasis
is entirely on assessment of the IT-system within its organizational environment. The author provides a coherent and complete assessment
of methods addressing interactions with and effects of technology at the organizational, psychological, and social levels.
It offers
an explanation of the terminology and theoretical foundations underlying the methodological analysis presented here. The author carefully
guides the reader through the process of identifying relevant methods corresponding to specific information needs and conditions for
carrying out the evaluation study. The Handbook takes a critical view by focusing on assumptions for application, tacit built-in perspectives
of the methods as well as their perils and pitfalls.
