What's an NPI ?
The NPIS Registry: why ?
Who is this platform for?
-
I am a citizen, a patient, a caregiver or a professional on a first visit
-
I will be able to easily find information on interventions that are actually INMs. I will also be able to provide feedback on usage. If I want to go further, I will be directed to the conditions for accessing all the data and features of the INM Repository.
-
I am a healthcare professional wishing to access all INM files
-
I will be able to find complete information on INM protocols to deepen my knowledge and practices. I will be able to provide feedback on use.
-
I am a representative of an authority, institution or organization related to health
-
If my practice organization is a partner of the NPIS, I will be able to access all the data and functionalities of the INM Repository.
-
I would like to submit a proposal for a new INM in the Repository
-
If my project meets the definition of an INM and if it is sufficiently supported by scientifically conducted studies, I will be directed to a form which will allow me to write the INM file relating to my project.
-
I am an expert selected under the INM file validation procedure
-
If I have received an email from NPIS accrediting me as an Expert in a defined field, I will be able to register to participate in the expert procedure for which I have been requested.

NPIS Questions and Answers
-
Why is there such a direct link between mechanistic, clinical, and implementation studies in the NPIS Model?
-
The connection between mechanistic, interventional, and implementation studies forms the backbone of the epistemological positioning of the NPIS Model regarding the evaluation of NPI. This does not mean that an interventional study, for example, cannot explore biological mechanisms or psychosocial processes. Instead, this backbone provides coherence to the studies and structures the validation process of NPI for integration into a standardized practice framework.

Is the NPIS Registry a tool for combating misinformation in the field of health?
-
Indeed, the NPI Registry contributes to the development of precision medicine. For example, how can we advance this field in the non-pharmacological treatment of pain without confusing patients when a prestigious medical school like Stanford publishes such a vague, incomplete, and unranked list on its website?

How many hopes dashed? How much time wasted? How many futile efforts? How much money squandered? How many unnecessary carbon emissions from transport? This subtly highlights pharmacological treatments and pain surgeries, which have precise contents and proven effects. The NPIS and its partners propose a solution to break this deadlock in favor of those affected by health issues. The goal is to provide reliable information on the most relevant NPI. It is also about no longer opposing pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies, but rather associating them wisely and at the right time.

Is a global alliance for NPI possible?
-
An alliance for NPI is essential today in response to siloed proposals from various disciplines (biology, psychology, public health), professions (medical, paramedical, educational, social), sectors (prevention, care, support for autonomy, social services, education, end-of-life care, disability), and currents (traditional or scientific medicine) at both national and supranational levels. The NPIS brings together these scattered and sometimes divided stakeholders to foster better understanding, practice, and recognition of NPI. The scientific society contributes to developing an NPI ecosystem that is often overlooked. It mobilizes hundreds of professionals and users worldwide to address the public health challenges of the 21st century that are widely recognized.
It highlights essential NPI and best practices to be delivered to the right people at the right time in their journey without criticizing other health solutions. Specifically, the NPIS enables:- Research stakeholders to develop, evaluate, and promote NPI.
- Care, prevention, and social support professionals to enhance their skills and access best practice recommendations and implementation tools for NPI.
- Health operators to choose, organize, track, consolidate, secure, and sustain investments in NPI.
- National and supranational health agencies to improve their knowledge for designing effective strategies regarding NPI.
- Governments, non-governmental organizations, user associations, and health actor federations to establish a common language within a defined scope to create just, equitable, and sustainable policies.
After establishing a standardized evaluation model, the NPIS contributes to an interprofessional, intersectoral, and bipartisan alliance in favor of NPI. Through an annual global summit, it gathers all stakeholders in the ecosystem during the third week of October, known as the NPIS Summit. This significant event discusses the economic and regulatory structuring of the ecosystem with all parties involved. The 2024 edition will take place in a highly symbolic venue, the Cité Universitaire in Paris, a quintessential humanist space open to the world, science, and peace, created between the two world wars last century. Everyone can participate and contribute to this international dynamic aimed solely at legitimizing NPI within health system offerings without disparaging other solutions. This coalition is called the NPIS Alliance.
