Center for Information Therapy (IxCenter.org) - A Consumers Guide to Information Therapy

Make Ix Happen. For Your Health.

Much of what happens in health care is about information. Information about your lab results, diagnoses, drugs, or referrals. Access to it gives you control over your own health and well-being. And the power of information grows when you and your providers are able to share it. When your providers prescribe you the right information at the right time, you are better able to make informed health decisions.

Information therapy (Ix) makes it easier for you to access:

Care you need.
Information to make better decisions.
Doctors and other providers.

When you have the right health information technology tools, you can better:

Understand your health issues.
Manage your conditions.
Communicate with your doctors, hospital, and health plan.
Live a healthy life.
