Like for other services, it is important to evaluate the impact of such digital health services. Decisions to adopt, use or reimburse new digital health services, at different levels of the health care system, are ideally based on evidence regarding their performance in the light of health system goals. In order to evaluate this, a broad perspective should be taken. Attainment of the broad health system goals, including quality, accessibility, efficiency and equity, are objectives against which to judge new digital health services. These goals are unaltered by the process of digitalisation. Evaluations should be designed and tailored in such a way as to capture all relevant changes in an adequate manner. We do not provide a full evaluation framework in this Opinion, but we do reflect on important elements. Monitoring can also complement evaluations by observing general trends in how health systems evolve, also as a consequence of digitalisation UR - http://dx.publications.europa.eu/10.2875/644722 UR - http://publications.europa.eu/publication/manifestation_identifier/PUB_EW0718124ENN ER -
