Stud Health Technol Inform. 2014:205:216-20.

Abstract

This paper presents the computational framework that is employed for the analysis of health related key drivers and indicators within ACT, a project aiming to improve the deployment of Care Coordination and Telehealth services/programmes across Europe, through an iterative evidence collection-evaluation-refinement process. An open-source solution is proposed, combining a series of established software technologies. The paper focuses on technical aspects of the framework and presents a worked example of a usage scenario.
