National system for knowledge management within Swedish healthcare
The national system for knowledge management is based on three pillars: knowledge, follow-up and analysis, and development.
The vision of the system is: "We measure our success in lives and health equity. Together, we enable each other to succeed".
Knowledge-based management
Using knowledge management is to:
- use the best available knowledge
- follow up and analyse meetings
- put new knowledge into practice quickly
- identify areas for improvement with the patient.
The website 1177 for Healthcare Professionals presents information and national clinical guidelines. It is a part of the national system for knowledge management.
