The clinical and market impact of medical information:
Medical information accessed and presented at the site of care determines patient experience, expectations, clinical decisions and behavior.
Medical information from performance measurement increasingly determines the market success of clinicians, services and therapeutic interventions.
Medical information from mining clinical data will drive the future of new medical knowledge and be the engine behind personalized medicine.
Medical information ecosystems on the Web shape consumer and clinician thinking.
MIIs can be categorized into "instrument classes" according to their primary function or indication. IC Sciences' classes include:
Care delivery instruments - Used by clinicians and patients throughout care continuum; Examples - Patient engagement, clinical data for registries, performance management.
Cognitive profiling instruments - Tools for understanding mindsets, sense-making; Examples - narrative tools for tailoring by context / profile; market research on clinicians thinking, deciding, reacting.
Therapeutic support instruments - Instruments that accompany treatment product / service to optimize usage; Examples - clinician experience data repository for new device; tailored self-care module for patient starting new medication.
Evaluation instruments - Instruments used to assess effectiveness, value of an intervention; Examples - patient reported outcomes surveys; narrative tools.
Collective intelligence instruments - Instruments that advance capabilities and value of clinician, patient and healthcare consumer peer to peer communities; Examples - semi-structured tagging of case content by physicians in web community.
