Ringing in an Ix New Year

By Josh Seidman | Popularity: 19%

Happy New Year!

So much excitement is on the horizon in the new year. Here are five IxCenter priorities for 2009:

  • The intersection of information therapy (Ix) and Health 2.0
  • More intensive efforts in Ix implementation in safety-net populations
    • New IxAction safety-net providers as well as a few potential new Ix grant projects with underserved populations have great potential to show the reach of Ix initiatives.
  • Building the Ix infrastructure in the context of health care reform
    • How do we build on 2008’s Ix private sector infrastructure successes by developing Ix-oriented performance measures and integrating these efforts into the national health care reform debate?
  • More detailed exploration of Ix strategies for Rx management
    • What is the role of Ix in improving medication management, reducing medication errors, and streamlining medication selection decisions?
  • Deep dives on key Ix applications
    • These may include pre-visit prep, after-visit summaries, prevention reminders, decision aids, and others.

What matters most to you as we work to advance the practice and science of information therapy in 2009?
