GATEKEEPER: Best Practices for Large-Scale eHealth Pilots

The GATEKEEPER project developed a management framework for executing large-scale, multinational digital health pilots. The framework was refined over four years using a mixed-methods approach, including a Delphi study with 23 experts ranking 45 best practices.

Use Cases

• Designing operational governance for distributed health pilots based on the six-domain framework.
• Prioritizing key performance indicators for pilot monitoring based on the structured definition of operative KPIs.
• Developing user-centered recruitment strategies based on the ranked best practices for active recruitment.
• Implementing real-time monitoring dashboards based on the described Business Intelligence tools.

Strengths

• Framework is based on a four-year development process within the EU Horizon 2020 GATEKEEPER project.
• Consensus was validated by a panel of 23 experts ranking 45 best practices.
• The document provides actionable guidance for the preparation, deployment, and running phases of pilots.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 149.8 KB PDF document, which is a very small text file with limited scope.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; the content is a report, not structured data.
• Freshness should be verified; last updated 2026-05-29 06:11:52.
