Article Synopsis
- Policymakers need to evaluate the effectiveness of different mediums for delivering health services, such as video consultations versus in-person visits, by considering various measures from randomized controlled trials.
- Two theoretical frameworks focus on the impact of digital health innovations on transaction costs and the outcomes along the care continuum, emphasizing the importance of assessing how information value changes throughout the care process.
- The study highlights that while digital health innovations show potential in improving process outcomes, satisfaction, and reducing costs, these factors are often inconsistently measured, suggesting that a comprehensive metric, specifically the 'value of information' (VoI), should be used to accurately determine the best delivery medium by accounting for various dimensions of value.
