Recent studies highlight that risks in diagnosis and treatment are one of the most important problems in the care management. Healthcare Professionals (HCP) not having protected environment such as hospital/clinics in where practice are even more subjected to these risks and in particular the HCP in the new Member States who are facing a series of healthcaresystem reforms; it rises therefore the necessity of an improvement of HCP skills/knowledge.
RIGHT project aims to:
- develop a knowledge management system integrated with Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) systems easy to be used by Healthcare Professionals of new member States;
- provide meta-search functionality and retrieve information from multiple, distributed content sources in parallel;
- end-users to access the system from a wide variety of mobile devices in order to make the interaction with the system available from any location;
- guide HCP and medical students through a Decision Support System based on clinical guidelines issued by medical authorities;
- make available to HCP information and contacts to face the common problem of an adverse geographical distribution that implies lack of contacts with specialized structures/doctors to share knowledge but also a variety of different clinical cases to face.
