All,

Looks like a Healthcare KM Workgroup is gaining some interest!

At this point we currently have 6 people jumping into the sandbox. We seem to have already brought together an interesting crew of participants? a few IT consultants, some federal agencies, a non-profit Healthcare system? now what?

I threw out some initial topics of concentration?

> 1.  Physician to Physician collaboration

> 2.  Patient Portals

> 3.  Integrated Delivery Network (clinics, hospital, payor) Intranet

> 4.  Mobile KM

> 5.  Healthcare Web 2.0

The list was created somewhat ad-hoc, but it does give a good snapshot of the main areas of focus? and in particular? in the greatest need of Knowledge Management (KM).

??????..

Short-term tactics:

1. Start using KM.gov as a collaboration nexus for the Healthcare KM Workgroup
1. (serendipitously, KM.gov uses a platform that we in Healthcare have not fully embraced)
   
   
2. Use the workgroup to discuss Healthcare KM strategies and best practices
1. Collaboration, Document Management, Content Management, BI and Workflow.

Mid-term strategy:

1. Workgroup participants formulate KM beta project between Gov, Non-Prof and Private Sector

Long-term vision? not there yet.

Below is the link to the Healthcare KM project site on km.gov?

Questions, comments, suggestions are expected!
