BACKGROUND University Hospitals (UHs) are key players in contributing to a sustainable health care system. In the Netherlands the eight UHs joined forces from 2016 till 2018 within the Citrien fund (CF) - program eHealth to develop sustainable eHealth solutions by carrying out 32 research projects. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to develop an evaluation study protocol that would be capable of evaluating the first Dutch University Hospitals eHealth program in depth. METHODS To develop the protocol three consecutive steps were carried out: 1) a rapid review to find suitable eHealth evaluation frameworks and eHealth project progress indicators, 2) assessment of the selected eHealth evaluation frameworks to determine the most suitable framework to evaluate CF - program eHealth, and 3) development of a mixed-methods study to evaluate eHealth project progress indicators in relation to the 32 eHealth research projects. RESULTS The ‘Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) framework for evaluating telehealth trials or programs’ was deemed most suitable for evaluating CF - program eHealth. The aspects planning, needs assessment, policy/organization, technology, ethics, legal, and finance, were considered useful indicators for monitoring the progress of an eHealth project, and therefore incorporated into the survey. CONCLUSIONS The developed evaluation study protocol will be used to evaluate the first Dutch University Hospitals’ eHealth program, the CF – program eHealth, and therewith contribute to maximizing successful uptake of eHealth solutions. Also, the selected set of eHealth project performance indicators could be used by researchers or policymakers to securely monitor the progress of eHealth projects.

Abstract Objective Developing an ontology can help collecting and sharing information in traditional medicine including Persian medicine in a well-defined format. The present study aimed to develop an ontology for gastric dystemperament in the Persian medicine. Methods This was a mixed-methods study conducted in 2019. The first stage was related to providing an ontology requirements specification document. In the second stage, important terms, concepts, and their relationships were identified via literature review and expert panels. Then, the results derived from the second stage were refined and validated using the Delphi method in three rounds. Finally, in the fourth stage, the ontology was evaluated in terms of consistency and coherence. Results In this study, 241 concepts related to different types of gastric dystemperament, diagnostic criteria, and treatments in the Persian medicine were identified through literature review and expert panels, and 12 new concepts were suggested during the Delphi study. In total, after performing three rounds of the Delphi study, 233 concepts were identified. Finally, an ontology was developed with 71 classes, and the results of the evaluation study revealed that the ontology was consistent and coherent. Conclusion In this study, an ontology was created for gastric dystemperament in the Persian medicine. This ontology can be used for designing future systems, such as case-based reasoning and expert systems. Moreover, the use of other evaluation methods is suggested to construct a more complete and precise ontology.
