Ozmosis Unleashes the Power of a Physicians Network

by Jason • November, 10 2008 Tags: crowdsourcing, physician networking

On Ozmosis, physicians learn from each other every day.  As the only Trusted Physician Network, we enable our members to share clinical and practice management insights (see my blog on migraine therapies).  In observing these interactions and reviewing feedback from the community, two key themes continue to emerge.

On Ozmosis, as in medicine, "Trust" and "Access To Your Professional Network" are essential to learning.   We have developed the next generation of Ozmosis to drive the exchange of medical knowledge by maximizing the power of a trusted physician network.

Ozmosis now leverages the power of each member's trusted network to deliver more personalized and relevant information to every physician.  The new feature set and user interface on Ozmosis drive "Network Powered Knowledge", which means physicians can quickly access personalized content from the sources they trust the most.
 



 


By expanding their professional networks, our physician members benefit from the insights shared by colleagues.  Upon logging in, personalized information is immediately presented to each physician.

Physicians see questions submitted by members of their network,

number of responses, and relative level of trust from the community

 

Ozmosis also delivers a knowledge feed that is continually updated as members post new articles, cases, questions and videos.  This is Crowdsourcing at work, a process that aggregates the collective insights of the community and brings important, timely, and relevant information bubbling to the surface for everyone's benefit.
 


 

In medicine today, we do not have the luxury of reading every article, guideline, or journal that we should.  We don't even answer every clinical question that comes up in the course of our day.  It's unfortunate, but this is the reality of the current state of medicine.  On Ozmosis, if a known and trusted colleague reads an article, case, or question and recommends it highly, a physician will see that acknowledgment and know what source to turn to first.  On Ozmosis, we are learning the way we learn best, from each other.

With the help of our physician members, Ozmosis will continue to improve the ability for physicians to learn and share in a trusted environment.  We'll keep you updated on future developments and feel free to leave a comment with your questions or thoughts.
