Abstract:
The Scottish Government supports a culture of knowledge management and organisational learning for nurses, midwives and allied health professionals (NMAHP). To help facilitate this the National eHealth Programme has developed a portal, Using Information - Improving Healthcare, to enable sharing of international and national good practice in information use. The portal provides short stories of how information has been used to improve healthcare or services via text, sound bites or video, with links to resources and people connected with these examples. Evidence based user success criteria and governance arrangements ensure that the site remains a high quality resource.
