Abstract

Data, information, and knowledge in medicine is varied, changing, interrelated, and for diverse purposes. Medical and Clinical care depends on the correct and efficient combined application of these elements to concrete health care situations as prophylactics, screening, diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis. In this paper, we propose a Knowledge Management Architecture (KMA) to allow the integration of medical and clinical data, information and knowledge in a consistent and incremental way. The components of KMA are described and the already implemented parts are provided with references to papers where they are explained in more detail. For the first time, we present the conceptual integration of the isolated works performed in the research group of artificial intelligence of the Rovira i Virgili University and in collaboration with the Clinical Hospital of Barcelona, and the SAGESSA health care organization.
