eHealth indicator and benchmarking activities are rapidly increasing nationally and internationally. The work is rarely based on a transparent methodology for indicator definition. This article describes first results of testing an indicator methodology for defining eHealth indicators, which was reported at the Medical Informatics Europe conference in 2012. The core elements of the methodology are illustrated, demonstrating validation of each of them in the context of Nordic eHealth Indicator work. Validation proved the importance of conducting each of the steps of the methodology, with several scientific as well as practical outcomes. The article is based on a report to be published by the Nordic Council of Ministers [4].
电子健康指标和基准活动在国内和国际上都在迅速增加。这项工作很少基于定义指标的透明方法。本文描述了在2012年欧洲医学信息学会议上报告的用于定义电子健康指标的指标方法测试的初步结果。阐述了该方法的核心要素，并在北欧电子健康指标工作的背景下展示了对每个要素的验证。验证证明了在方法的每个步骤中进行操作的重要性，并产生了一些科学和实际成果。本文基于北欧部长理事会即将发表的一份报告[4]。
