WHY
?
The recent growth in the scientific understanding of diseases
and their management has been unprecedented, but has not
been matched by an equivalent ability to apply that knowledge
in practice. It is now humanly impossible for unaided
healthcare professionals to deliver patient care with
the efficacy, consistency and safety that the full range
of current knowledge could support.
|
WHAT
?
OpenClinical is an international organisation that
has been created to promote awareness and use of decision
support, clinical workflow and other advanced knowledge
management technologies for patient care and clinical
research.
|
GOALS
Openclinical.org provides a substantial and growing set
of resources for technologists, clinicians, healthcare
providers and suppliers who wish to find out more about
this field.
OpenClinical aims to build a community of users, researchers
and suppliers, and to disseminate development tools
and techniques for building healthcare applications
that comply with the highest possible quality, safety
and ethical standards. |
