KMi Seminars
Infomed - Cuba, an insider's view
This event took place on Monday 25 June 2007 at 15:30

Maykel Moya Infomed (Health Informatics Network), Havana, Cuba

Infomed is the telematic network of the Public Health Ministry of the Cuban Republic. A project of the CNICM (National Center for Medical Sciences Information) began 15 years ago with the goal of improving information services for the Cuban public health institutions and individuals. Today Infomed is Cuba's largest telco network: more than 100,000 users and more than 700 institutions (and growing) spread over the whole country are served 24x7 by Infomed.

The talk will cover some of Infomed's history, what specific services are available for users, the internals of the telco network and remarks about where Infomed is headed in the future.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
