Tool Evaluation Criteria
The following list of general criteria (independent of to which tool category the tool belongs to) should aid HL7/AID/EST in evaluating tools:
| Criterium | Description |
|---|---|
| Offers support | Up to date documentation, Availability of skilled resources and services |
| Continued development | Follow developments within HL7 (with a reasonable time lag) |
| Proven usage | Used at least 1, or x, sites |
| Reusable | open architecture, developed for re-use as a component in a different "stack", not be tied into one particular solution stack |
| Unambiguous license | No prohibitive licensing small-print, For open products: use should not effectively require the purchase of non-open parts. No hidden "Widget-frosting", should be known ahead of time. |
| No cost barrier | Low cost preferred over high cost |
