CPIR is developing innovative, technology driven approaches to the successful engagement of the patient in the care process, and to creating a true therapeutic partnership between the patient, the physician and other care givers.

Patient-generated data can help to transform the current health care model.  At the moment, this is the only voice which is not being heard on a systematic, standardized and measureable basis.

The patient should, and can, have a central role in developing their treatment plan. The communication facilitated and fostered by this therapeutic partnership is the key to improving health outcomes related to chronic diseases and reducing disparities among vulnerable populations.

Third party collected, patient generated data is the gold standard of unbiased quality measurement. This data must be analyzed to understand what is and is not working.

Hard wiring the patient’s voice into HIT technology will bring confidence, integrity and transparency to the transformation of health care.
