eHealth evaluation needs alternate approach

November 2nd, 2010

In this week's PLoS Medicine Magazine, Trisha Greenhalgh and Jill Russell from the Queen Mary University of London discuss the relative merits of "scientific" and "social practice" approaches to evaluation and argue that eHealth evaluation is in need of a paradigm shift. They critique the previous PLoS Medicine series on evaluating eHealth, published in late 2009.
