Abstract

Abstract Background: This paper describes the impact evaluation of a large big data platform initiative that is being undertaken in order to increase the probability of its success. The initiative, MIDAS (Meaningful Integration of Data Analytics and Services), is a European health-based Horizon 2020 project comprising a consortium of members from various universities, research institutions, and government agencies. Objectives: The purpose of the paper is to present a pioneering platform that will support healthcare policymakers in their decision-making by enabling greater and more efficient use of their data. The goal is to present and evaluate the results of the MIDAS project across four countries. Methods/Approach: The literature is replete with examples of worthwhile technology projects that have failed due to user resistance. In order to avoid such failure, and ensure the success of the final MIDAS platform, a detailed impact evaluation is being undertaken at timed periods of development. Results: This paper describes the impact evaluation process, outlining the use of Q-methodology and the development of a 36-item concourse using the HTMLQ system for that purpose. Conclusions: This research contributes to the overall understanding of how impact evaluation can be undertaken at timed periods during the development of an innovative technology for organisational purposes.

新兴欧洲卫生项目——MIDAS模式的影响评价

摘要背景:本文描述了正在进行的大型大数据平台倡议的影响评估，以提高其成功的概率。这项名为MIDAS(数据分析和服务的有意义集成)的倡议是一个以欧洲健康为基础的“地平线2020”项目，由来自不同大学、研究机构和政府机构的成员组成。目的:本文的目的是提出一个开创性的平台，将支持医疗保健决策者在他们的决策，使他们的数据更大和更有效的使用。目标是介绍和评估MIDAS项目在四个国家的成果。方法/途径:文献中充满了由于用户抵制而失败的有价值的技术项目的例子。为了避免这种失败，并确保最后的MIDAS平台的成功，在开发的定时阶段正在进行详细的影响评价。结果:本文描述了影响评估过程，概述了q方法的使用，并为此目的使用HTMLQ系统开发了一个36项的大厅。结论:本研究有助于全面了解在组织目的的创新技术开发期间如何进行影响评估。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
