Population-wide health improvement is part of the mission of many federal and state agencies. Key to those
missions is the effort to speed the transfer of research findings into medical practice. Healthwise can help
in four ways:
- Healthwise® writers are experts in translating research findings into language and context that helps consumers make better decisions with their physicians.
- Tapping into Healthwise's huge dissemination network (nearly 100 million health decisions per year) can reach those in need of the new information quickly and efficiently.
- Information therapy enables clinicians and health plans to prescribe targeted information to all patients.
- Working with its managed care, clinical, and academic partners, Healthwise can participate in researching the value of getting new findings into the field faster.
As a nonprofit organization, Healthwise is the right partner for a broad array of agencies to advance their goals. Examples include:
- Centers for Disease Control—preventive services, antibiotic management, and other programs.
- National Library of Medicine—providing in-depth information that people can trust.
- National Cancer Institute—information therapy and decision support for cancer.
- Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute—strategies to improve compliance.
- Homeland Security Office—strategies for disaster and public health threats. (Our Healthwise Handbook includes a new chapter on this topic.)
