Practical Approach of Knowledge Management in Medical Science

Knowledge organization, infrastructure, and knowledge-based activities are all subjects that help in the creation of business strategies for the new enterprise. In this paper, the first basics of knowledge-based systems are studied. Practical issues and challenges of Knowledge Management (KM) implementations are then illustrated. Finally, a comparison of different knowledge-based projects is presented along with abstracted information on their implementation, techniques, and results. Most of these projects are in the field of medical science. Based on our study and evaluation of different KM projects, we conclude that KM is being used in every science, industry, and business. But its importance in medical science and assisted living projects are highlighted nowadays with the most of research institutes. Most medical centers are interested in using knowledge-based services like portals and learning techniques of knowledge for their future innovations and supports.
