Distributed evidence – the next epoch in healthcare evidence will be shaped by “real world,” bottom-up syntheses of patient-, clinician- and computer-generated data.

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.

Complexity informatics – healthcare informatics systems operate in highly uncertain, changing and interconnected settings, and are thus optimally designed with complex adaptive systems approaches rather than those of traditional, mechanistic management and engineering domains
