Evaluation of Procurement Practice for Digital Health

A strategic approach to the procurement of effective digital health solutions is key to the transformation of the health service of Ireland and many other countries.

This review is intended as a contribution to a consultation process for an updated and standardised approach to procurement in order to benefit procurers in selecting the best in class product(s) in terms of value, outcomes, cost and other important factors for consideration.
