GATEKEEPER: Best Practices and Challenges for Large-Scale eHealth Pilots

23 experts ranked 45 best practices across six operational domains for managing multinational digital health deployments. The framework was developed over four years within the EU Horizon 2020 GATEKEEPER project, involving a federation of four European large-scale pilots. It integrates key performance indicators, standardized reporting tools, and a Business Intelligence dashboard for real-time monitoring.

Use Cases

• Designing operational governance frameworks based on the six identified domains: Engagement, Intervention, Monitoring and Control, Planning, Recruitment, and Other.
• Prioritizing pilot management activities based on expert-validated best practices like usability testing and user-centred design.
• Developing real-time monitoring dashboards based on the structured key performance indicators and reporting tools described.
• Planning recruitment and stakeholder engagement strategies for complex health deployments based on the active recruitment strategies identified as a top priority.

Strengths

• Framework is based on a mixed-methods study involving 23 experts and four European large-scale pilots.
• Results include a ranked list of 45 best practices across six distinct operational domains.
• The management framework was developed and refined over a four-year period within a specific EU Horizon 2020 project (Grant Agreement No. 857223).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 17.0 KB file size suggests the dataset is a summary or framework description, not a large collection of raw pilot data.
