What is Direct Costs and Benefits Criteria

The purpose of this study is to explore the user’s perspective in evaluating e-health services, and to present evaluation criteria that influence user’s utilization and satisfaction of e-health services. The evaluation criteria are based on two lines of studies relating to the behaviour of users of new products or services and on broad examining and critical analysis of the existing evaluations initiatives in e-health context. The evaluation criteria can serve as part of an e-health evaluation framework, and also to provide useful tools to allow the development of successful e-health initiatives by assisting the healthcare organisation to address areas that require further attention.
