The Center for Information Therapy (IxCenter) is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that aims to advance the practice and science of information therapy to improve health, consumer decision making and healthy behaviours.Their mission is to "prescribe he right information, to the right person, at the right time."
The IxCenter acts as a catalyst for health care delivery innovation by diffusing information therapy strategies through research, education and collaboration. A core function of the IxCenter is engaging with information therapy proponents and industry leaders through its IxAction Alliance.Their members include national and local US health organisations and other not for profits.
Mark Duman, PiFs president has spoken with Joshua Siedman, President of the Center for Information Therapy and we hope that it will be the start of a long and fruitful relationship! The theme of information as a therapy formed the main discussion at a recent meeting of PiF board members and PiF supporters which we reported a few weeks ago. The results of these discussions are being developed into a document that can be shared. When it's completed it will be posted on the web site - probably in the New Year.
