Abstract:
Accurate and efficient communication among all the parties is an important component of providing efficient and effective medical care to patients who have complex needs. The evolution of clinimetric measurement approaches designed to be congruent with the clinical process into communimetric tools designed to communicate the clinical process to wider audiences allows the use of technology to support improved care. Computerized medicine offers many opportunities for speeding up the communication of data and thereby improving the efficiency and effectiveness of medical care. The use of communimetric tools within this information environment represents an important opportunity to bridge the quality chasm.
