Making the Right Choice: How to Rate Healthcare Apps

Adam Landman, MD, CIO, David Levine, MD, Associate Physician, and David Bates, MD, Chief of the Division of General Internal Medicine, Brigham and Women’s Hospital.  There are several hundred thousand healthcare apps in the marketplace, but it can be very difficult to determine which ones to choose – and the vast majority have little, if any, clinical value.  Drs. Landman, Levine and Bates present an evidence-based approach that they developed to rate apps across an array of domains which may be helpful to organizations in selecting ones which may deliver clinical benefit.
