Abstract

This chapter explores the wide range of possible indicators (also called metrics) that can be used toevaluate state health department Web-based data query systems (WDQS). While the list of indicators
we propose is not exhaustive, it strives to cast a wide net on the range of issues that should be
considered when evaluating WDQS, from the richness of functionalities provided by the WDQS, to
the usability of the WDQS, the level of human resources required to develop and maintain the
WDQS, and the frequency and intensity of WDQS use.
