Knowledge Standardization, Management, and Integration

Clinicians generate and record information to conduct care. This information needs to accurately represent the clinical status of patients. Such representation relies on the use of electronic standards to capture, store, and share information. These standards, their construction, implementation, use, and maintenance are then highly relevant as modern clinical practice evolves. This chapter introduces the reader to many of the factors influencing knowledge management and representation. Additionally, the reader will also gain a better understanding of the technical aspects that can support or impede clinical integration.
