Assessment of Health Information Technology Interventions in Evidence-Based Medicine: A Systematic Review by Adopting a Methodological Evaluation Framework

The application of ( ) can be an effective way to advance medical research and health services provision. The two-fold objective of this work is to: (i) identify and review state-of-the-art that facilitate the aims of evidence-based medicine and (ii) propose a methodology for assessment. The systematic review was conducted according to the ( ) guidelines. Furthermore, we consolidated existing knowledge in the field and proposed a ( ) in order to evaluate the joint use of ( ) along with in the field of evidence-based medicine. 55 articles met the inclusion criteria and refer to 51 ( ) published between 2008 and 2016. Significant improvements in healthcare through the use of were observed in the findings of 31 out of 51 trials-60.8%. We also confirmed that are valuable tools for assessing the effectiveness, acceptability, safety, privacy, appropriateness, satisfaction, performance, usefulness and adherence. To improve health service delivery, apply and exhibit formalization by providing measurable outputs. Towards this direction, we propose the as a framework which may help researchers to carry out appropriate evaluations and extend their studies.
