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
-
What is the added value of the NPIS Registry for a healthcare professional?
-
Accessible Protocols in Consultation
- Enhanced Quality and Safety: Strengthens the quality and safety of existing practices through formalization, harmonization, and securitization.
- Integration with Professional Software: Codified NPI can be integrated into healthcare management software.
- Digital Documentation: Access to documentation from computers, tablets, or smartphones for ease of use.
- Broad Validation: Extends validation to all relevant professionals in the region.
- Quick and Easy Access: Facilitates rapid access to information at critical decision-making moments for prevention and care.
- Simplicity in Tracking: Eases the follow-up and evolutionary process of best implementation practices (e.g., identifying barriers, professional leadership, availability of training and support).
Quality Control and Adherence to Protocols
- Traceability: Utilizes unique coded protocols for tracking.
- Strengthened Care Link: Enhances the relationship between care provision and patient support.
- Monitoring Relevant Indicators: Provides tools for tracking key performance indicators.
- Continuous Education Tool: Serves as a resource for ongoing professional development.
- Regular Updates: Incorporates regular updates based on user feedback.
Means of Valuation
- Response to Identified Multidisciplinary Issues: Addresses problems identified by healthcare teams in a specific territory.
- Extended Roles for Various Professionals: Expands the roles of many professionals, particularly non-physicians.
- Elimination of Ineffective Protocols: Phases out protocols that are ineffective, hazardous, or costly.
- Reduction in Meeting Time: Decreases the need for multiple meetings focused on intervention planning.
- Support for Innovation: Encourages professionals to experiment with new practices, boosting their confidence.
- Financial Valuation: Ensures appropriate financial and resource allocation for effective implementation.

What is an evidence-based data point for an NPI?
-
An evidence-based data point is a theoretical or practical knowledge acquired through rigorous and integrated scientific methods and reasoning. The NPIS Model follows this logic in the health field (see Figure 3). It provides specific methodological and ethical recommendations for NPI for studies focusing on their mechanisms and explanatory processes (mechanistic study), their content (prototypical study), their evolution over time (observational study), their benefits and risks (interventional study), and their application and personalization modalities (implementation study).

Why an international scientific society for NPI ?
-
NPI are a field in which many amalgamations occur between scientific knowledge and opinion, due to their objective—human health—and their operational mode, which involves immaterial protocols. However, it is essential to learn to distinguish science from research amidst the multiplication of tools and information channels (Klein, 2020), particularly on the subject of NPI. The same communication channels transmit both scientific knowledge and beliefs, opinions, comments... Information of different statuses becomes intertwined. Knowledge can turn into the belief of a particular community, and vice versa.
Research, on the other hand, pertains to questions for which we do not yet have answers. These well-defined questions still have no answer. A researcher works on the subject using various methods and strategies. Research fosters doubt. Scientific societies work to advance research within a specific territory and theme.
Given that NPI are universal health protocols centered on individuals and administered by humans, an international multidisciplinary scientific society needed to be created. This has been achieved since 2021. This society is called the Non-Pharmacological Intervention Society (NPIS). -
