Evidence

The overarching goal for the evaluation of the Ontario eServices Program is to measure and understand the value enabled through the use of eConsult and eReferral, and the impact of these digital health tools.

Our Evaluation Framework

The Quintuple Aim framework assesses implementation strategies along five equally-weighted dimensions of care:

  • improving population health
  • enhancing patients’ experience of care
  • reducing costs
  • improving clinician experience
  • health equity
