Benefits Evaluation Framework & Tools

Infoway worked with a panel of leading researchers to develop a Benefits Evaluation Framework and Strategy to help understand the effects Canada's investments in digital health technologies are having on individuals and the health care system as a whole. This framework, which has since been applied across Canada and internationally, is applied to our investment projects to evaluate their benefits and to help guide future projects.

The framework focuses on the relationship between the implementation of an effective solution, the adoption of that solution and the resulting impacts. While there are other important factors for success, applying a set of evaluation methods against this framework has proven an effective, manageable approach for understanding progress towards objectives, identifying barriers, and communicating successes. The Benefits Evaluation Indicators Technical Report Version 2.0 contains the instructions and resources to support application of the framework.

Infoway works closely with our partners to assess the value of digital health projects. The evaluation allows us to understand the impact of our investments, best practices and how to improve digital health tools to improve care for Canadians.
