Summary
This study defines an insight as understanding the "why" behind information trends to guide action. A new INSITE process (Investigate, Scrutinize, Identify, Take Action, Enlighten) is proposed for cross-functional insight generation.
Area of Science:
- Pharmaceutical Sciences
- Medical Affairs
- Health Economics and Outcomes Research
Background:
- Insights derived from data can drive positive changes for businesses, healthcare professionals (HCPs), and patients.
- Medical Information departments are key generators of insights through customer-facing interactions.
- Integrating data and insights across organizational functions is crucial for a holistic view.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish a universally shared definition of an insight.
- To develop practical guidance for a structured insight generation process.
Main Methods:
- Two surveys were administered to phactMI members to define insights and benchmark current processes.
- A proposed guidance was developed based on survey data and working group expertise.
Main Results:
- An insight is defined as a deeper understanding of the 'why' behind information trends, determining if action is warranted.
- Cross-functional collaboration is essential for robust insight identification.
- A five-step structured approach, INSITE (Investigate, Scrutinize, Identify, Take Action, Enlighten), is proposed.
Conclusions:
- The INSITE process offers a straightforward framework for Medical Information professionals to routinely generate insights.
- Sharing the INSITE process across all participating functions can enhance collaboration.
- Medical Information can demonstrate leadership and organizational value through effective insight generation.

Cognitive Learning

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

Hindsight Biases

Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Intelligence
7.8K
The term "intelligence" is complex because it refers to both behavior and individuals, and its interpretation varies across cultures. European Americans tend to link intelligence with reasoning and cognitive skills, while in Kenya, it is tied to responsible participation in family and social life. In Uganda, intelligence is seen as the ability to know the right actions and carry them out effectively, while the Iatmul people of Papua New Guinea associate it with the capacity to remember...

Attitudes
28.4K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Outliers and Influential Points
4.1K
An outlier is an observation of data that does not fit the rest of the data. It is sometimes called an extreme value. When you graph an outlier, it will appear not to fit the pattern of the graph. Some outliers are due to mistakes (for example, writing down 50 instead of 500), while others may indicate that something unusual is happening. Outliers are present far from the least squares line in the vertical direction. They have large "errors," where the "error" or residual is the...
