• To produce a systematic overview of the literature examining the effectiveness of eHealth applications to improve the quality and safety of healthcare (Phase I)

• To undertake eHealth focused systematic reviews in strategically important areas (Phase II)

• To deliver a series of eHealth Masterclasses bringing together academics, clinicians, industry representatives and policy makers (Phase II)

Aims

• The available evidence is of variable quality• Overall, a substantial mismatch between the anticipated/claimed

clinical benefits and those that are currently being demonstrated• The benefits that are being seen relate in the main to shifts in process

measures, with relatively little/disappointing evidence of improvements in clinical endpoints/clinical effectiveness

• These benefits tend to be seen in relation to “home grown” systems, with few evaluations of commercial “off-the-shelf” systems

• Moving forward, there is a need to:o Move from “push” to “pull” based approaches to technology

development/deploymento Recognise the importance of sociotechnical dimensions to aid

adoptiono Understand the importance of time horizonso Think about investments/returns “in the round”, including from

secondary uses of digitial data

“We’ve found is because we’ve got our own system we can develop the system to capture what we need very quickly, it’s quite responsive and that’s kind of put us streets ahead of the other Trusts in that respect. So I think what we’ve decided is we won’t ditch the system it’s actually quite valuable to us, if we bought a ready made system it would be costing us a fortune to have all these amendments made to it.” (Interview 19, Research Nurse, Secondary Care)

• eHealth applications offer considerable potential to develop innovative new approaches to develop care – a key area to focus on is “consumer informatics” as this is potentially low-hanging fruit

• Their benefits should not simply be assumed – rather, these interventions need to be evaluated throughout all stages of the lifecycle

• The importance of secondary uses of coded data to the NHS/academia/UK should not be under-estimated – these benefits tend to accrue as datasets mature over years, if not decades

• We need to create the infrastructure and opportunities to ensure that UK academics remain at the forefront of this rapidly advancing field of enquiry…
