Cognitive potency – the ways in which information is assembled, packaged, and delivered in interactions with patients and clinicians are potent determinants of healthcare decisions.

Complexity informatics – healthcare informatics systems operate in highly uncertain, changing and interconnected settings.

Internet-assisted intelligence – patients and clinicians currently rely and will soon depend on Internet technologies.
