[Benchmarks for evaluating health care networks].

The implementation of health care networks is accompanied by a certain number of changes in professional practices. At the heart of the economic, organisational, and political stakes, new questions are posed, especially in terms of evaluation. It is true that no matter what the level of evaluation, it is essential today to rely on the support of existing information systems to develop methodologies and to better describe the produced effects, in economic terms and health outcomes, but also from a more qualitative point of view, in terms of public satisfaction and benefits to clients. Laying down some reference points for evaluating health care networks can only contribute to developing new strategies for showing their effectiveness and efficiency and learning from this experimentation.
