Links

Information with a purpose.

A link is most useful when people and systems understand what it leads to. The Links initiative focuses on the resources connected to a product and how those connections can support a specific patient or healthcare need.

Our focus

Build around the information people need.

We want to explore standard and custom link types through concrete use cases. The discussion includes how resources are described, who maintains them, and how participants can make their meaning clearer across systems.

Perspectives to bring together

Patients and advocates, clinical educators, manufacturers, content owners, and interoperability specialists.

Questions to explore together

01

Which product resources would be most useful to patients and the people who care for them?

02

Where can standard link types support shared understanding, and where should custom types be explored?

03

How should information owners maintain relevance, accuracy, and continuity as resources change?

The collaborative opportunity

Create a shared set of use cases that pairs information needs with meaningful links and clear ownership of the destination content.
