VHA Virtual Care Value Framework: A Quintuple Aim-Based Tool for Technology Assessment

A participatory and literature-based Value Framework for assessing virtual care technologies within the Veterans Health Administration. The framework synthesizes findings from a scoping review of 96 prior randomized clinical trials and stakeholder co-design. It organizes outcomes into five primary value categories aligned with healthcare's Quintuple Aim.

Use Cases

• Developing evaluation metrics for virtual care programs based on the Quintuple Aim categories.
• Informing the design of clinical trials for telehealth interventions based on identified outcome subcategories.
• Communicating the potential value of a virtual care technology portfolio to stakeholders based on the structured framework.
• Supporting the creation of a cumulative evidence base for digital health technologies based on the framework's outcome sets.

Strengths

• Framework development was informed by a targeted scoping review of 96 prior VHA-funded randomized clinical trials.
• The framework is structured around five primary value categories derived from the established healthcare Quintuple Aim.
• The dataset is a published PDF document (600.7 KB) with a clear, CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is a conceptual framework document; it does not contain primary observational or experimental data records.
• Row and column counts are not applicable, limiting its use for direct quantitative analysis.
• The specific data underlying the scoping review and stakeholder input are not included in this resource.
