Healthcare Knowledge Management: Knowledge Management in the Perinatal Care Environment

The chapter presents four key steps in the knowledge management process: access to quality clinical data; knowledge discovery; knowledge translation; and knowledge integration and sharing. Examples are provided for each of these steps for the perinatal care clinical environment and a number of artificial intelligence tools and analyses results are described. The usefulness of this approach for clinical decision support is discussed and the chapter concludes with suggestions on knowledge integration and sharing using Web services.
