One effective way to improve health service provision is to have and regularly assess an online portal. A well-functioning portal can make a hospital more attractive, efficient and effective regarding patients’ needs. UNU-EGOV has designed, maintains and applies the Health Online Service Provision Index (HOSPI) methodology to assess hospital portals. HOSPI comprises 164 indicators relating to four criteria: Content, Services, Community Interaction and Technology Features.
