Scope of coverage

The scope of the picDefinition resource is to describe the conditional state (population and exposures being compared within a population) that knowledge (evidence, assertion, recommendation) is about.

The PIC is a commonly bundled triad from the "PICO" specification of medical knowledge:

Population - the population within which exposures and outcomes are being considered Intervention - the conditional state or exposure state being described for which one is expressing the risk of or effect on an outcome Comparison - the alternative conditional state or alternative exposure state when one is comparing states for the effect on an outcome Outcome - the result or effect of an intervention or exposure in a population

PICO (and its variants like PECO or PICOT) is a universal acronym used in evidence-based medicine communities to clearly express research questions and evidence findings.

The picDefinition resource allows expression of the higher-order concept for recommendations in healthcare where multiple outcomes are considered.

RIM scope

Resource appropriateness

Across the evidence-based medicine community (hundreds of thousands of people communicating the results of healthcare research and recommendations), the PIC specification is the primary method for expressing what evidence assertions and recommendations are about. Standardizing the PIC specification is necessary to support interoperability across the evidence-based medicine domain.
