Digital Mental Health & Addiction Services evaluation framework workshops
Thursday, 17 September 2020
Return to eHealthNews.nz home page With the increasing interest in health apps, e-therapy and digital health solutions, an evaluation framework is needed to assess the clinical effectiveness, equity, safety, security, privacy, New Zealand relevance and usability of potential solutions.
The NZ Health App Library team, which is part of Health Navigator NZ, is currently road testing a Digital Mental Health & Addiction Services (DHMHS) evaluation framework that has been developed for the Ministry of Health’s Mental Health & Addiction Directorate.
This framework has identified five key domains:
- clinical effectiveness and safety
- equity, cultural safety and experience
- data and security
- algorithm and information design
- UX and service design.
Within each of these are a series of mandatory and supplementary criteria and questions to be answered by the app or digital solution company. The responses are then reviewed by a 3rd party, such as the NZ Health App team, and scored.
The team is currently planning a series of consultative workshops to review the draft evaluation framework.
If you are interested in providing input to any of these domains, you can find out more about the workshops and let us know your availability from 21 September to 2 October by emailing felix@healthnavigator.org.nz so we can arrange the workshops at times to have the right mix of experience and perspectives at each one.
We really appreciate any input you can provide to help us assess, critique and ultimately improve the quality, standards and effectiveness of digital health solutions to improve the health and wellbeing of New Zealanders. Source: Health Navigator NZ media release, 18 September 2020
