Physicians face an enormous amount of new clinical information that is being created all the time.
Through care management. One of our principles is to synthesize knowledge. CMI will, on a national level, synthesize knowledge about the best clinical approach and create, implement, and evaluate effective and efficient health care. The idea here is to take what's best about what we do internally, but also scan the external world to see what's best. We then put that together and bring it to physicians so that they don't have to read the 20,000 journals published monthly.
