Exploring the link between populomics and knowledge management: patient-oriented case exemplars.

Area of Science:

• Public Health
• Health Informatics
• Knowledge Management

Background:

• Population-level health problems, including healthcare disparities, are complex.
• These issues involve socio-behavioural, community, and biological factors.
• Advances in information and communication technologies (ICTs) are crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

• To explore the connection between populomics and knowledge management (KM).
• To illustrate how knowledge-based health case studies can illuminate understanding of populomics and KM.
• To demonstrate the role of ICTs in addressing population health challenges.

Main Methods:

• Utilizing knowledge-based health case studies as exemplars.
• Analyzing the confluence of people, process, and technology in knowledge management.
• Examining socio-behavioural, community, and biological factors in population health.

Main Results:

• Knowledge management principles offer a framework for understanding complex health issues.
• Case studies effectively demonstrate the interplay between populomics and KM.
• The integration of people, process, and technology is central to effective KM in health.

Conclusions:

• Knowledge-based case studies are valuable tools for exploring populomics and KM.
• KM strategies can be applied to address population health challenges and reduce disparities.
• Further research into the integration of ICTs within KM for public health is warranted.
