Description
Healthcare institutions build increasingly large amounts of clinical knowledge assets. They are responsible for the accuracy, transparency and updating of the content. Inconsistent, incomplete, and outdated clinical knowledge assets represent unnecessary patient safety risks. Unfortunately, many organizations limit their knowledge management activities to a reactive and an ad-hoc approach, lacking a formal content review and maintenance process, and a system that supports an institution-wide knowledge management strategy. This workshop will provide an introduction to clinical knowledge management topics that include the cataloguing of knowledge assets, authoring and modeling of metadata, managing relationship and dependencies among data, importing and exporting knowledge assets from and to other clinical applications, guaranteeing structural and semantic integrity when knowledge assets change, and comprehensive asset lifecycle process. The workshop includes practical experiences, challenges, and lessons learned.
