GATEKEEPER: Best Practices for Large-Scale eHealth Pilots

GATEKEEPER, an EU Horizon 2020 project, developed a management framework for multinational digital health deployments. The framework integrates 45 best practices across six operational domains, ranked by a panel of 23 experts over four years. It includes key performance indicators, standardized reporting tools, and a Business Intelligence dashboard for real-time monitoring.

Use Cases

• Designing operational governance for distributed health pilots based on the structured framework.
• Prioritizing pilot activities based on the ranked list of 45 best practices.
• Developing monitoring dashboards based on the described key performance indicators and reporting tools.
• Planning user-centered design and recruitment strategies based on the top-ranked practices identified.

Strengths

• Framework is consensus-validated, derived from a Delphi study with 23 experts.
• Covers six operational domains: Engagement, Intervention, Monitoring and Control, Planning, Recruitment, and Other.
• Based on four years of iterative development within a federation of four European large-scale pilots.

Limitations

• Dataset is small (47.5 KB), suggesting limited raw data content.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
