Knowledge Management policy for Health - Service, Education and Research

Knowledge Management (KM) envisages capturing, creating, sharing and managing knowledge.The implementation of any KM policy in Health sector will have essential ingredients and processes for improving the health of people by imparting benefits of various health programs to the targeted communities and improving the quality of education and research which will lead to evidence based policy. However, KM in health sector faces three major challenges: Unsatisfactory quality of data; Non- availability of data for knowledge generation; Inadequate dissemination of knowledge. Overall, this policy aims to change the focus from the people who manage knowledge to those whose health is managed.
