The document proposes a platform that collaboratively defines research questions, applies scientific methods to develop evidence-based care plans, measures the impact on population health, and disseminates results locally and globally. It identifies gaps that a matchmaking project could address, such as extracting non-identifiable data to build an outcomes registry and expanding an existing orthopedic registry. The document requests partial funding to develop this platform and address gaps in system architecture, development, marketing, and research support.

Provide a platform for population, patients,
care providers and researchers that:
• Collaboratively defines the research
question
• Apply rigorous scientific methods to define
evidence-based processes
• Incorporate new learning into a care plan
in real-time
• Measure the impact of investment in
research on a population’s health

This is a complex problem that
cannot be solved by a single point
solution
clinicalMessage advocates a solution
to this problem with the following
characteristics:
• System performance must be
measured by population health
performance indicators, a
derivative of IHI Triple Aim
• Engage population and patients in
self-management
• Enable providers to manage health
information as a natural part of the
care process
• Pay4Perfromance should benefit
both providers and the population

Gaps that the 2013 Matchmaking Project can Resolve:
• An implementation to extract data from clinicalMessage to Build a non-PHI outcomes
registry data-warehouse
• Extension of the orthopedic outcomes registry project – that is underway – to other
domains
• Adoption of all registries as a source of data to establish an initial research hypothesis
and partner with care providers “to do research differently ”
