Abstract :
When evaluating the quality of a new medical examination network environment, one needs to evaluate not only just the technical aspect, but also the clinical aspect. During the assessment, this paper wishes to highlight that one needs to take into account the existing standards in the field of health information technology. Furthermore, the quality offered can be measured by the degree of conformity with the standards. Here, the reader is introduced to the relevant specific standards that one should comply with when trying to evaluate this quality quantitatively.
