Targeted Health Information Delivery Framework

Abstract

This paper describes the validation and evaluation that was completed on a targeted health information delivery system. The system was created to enable questionnaire creation and stage relevant resources as selected by a healthcare practitioner (HCP) to be delivered to their client. 14 HCPs were recruited to help validate the results of the staging engine within the system, as well as provide feedback on the perceived utility and usefulness of the system. There was 151 fictional client scenarios completed across 15 different questionnaires. The HCPs used their professional judgement to manually determine the stage for each scenario for the questionnaires they created. The system's stage determinations for each questionnaire was compared to the HCPs determinations, and matched 151 out of 151 times. In addition, the HCPs found the system very useful, rated the system highly, and several of the HCPs wish to start using the system immediately.
