Abstract

Knowledge represents primary sources of truth, a crucial, valuable asset supporting the health system. The current digital health revolution has sped up the acquisition of new knowledge. This is far too much for any one person to process. Traditionally, this has taken too long to adopt as dissemination methods are failing to streamline timely access and use. Health-related knowledge needs to support decision-making at any level within the healthcare system. No clinician has the time to discover and wade through multiple PDF documents in order to access the best available or real-time evidence. Computers need to be enabled to deliver this by facilitating querying anytime, integrating and using clinical guidelines and protocols metadata to support automation in decision support systems. Electronic knowledge processing, governance and use, at points of decision-making, and the supporting standards and legislative requirements for a well-functioning digital health ecosystem to benefit the population at large are explored in this chapter.
