Toward Optimization of Medical Therapies with a Little Help from Knowledge Management

Jorge Rodas-Osollo, Jorge Rodas-Osollo and Karla Olmos-Sanchez

A chapter in Recent Advances in Knowledge Management from IntechOpen

Abstract: This chapter emphasizes the importance of identifying and managing knowledge from Informally Structured Domains, especially in the medical field, where very short and repeated serial measurements are often present. This information is made up of attributes of both patients and their treatments that influence their state of health and usually includes measurements of various parameters taken at different times during the duration of treatment and usually after the application of the therapeutic resource. The chapter communicates the use of the KDSM methodology through a case study and the importance of paying attention to the characteristics of the domain to perform appropriate knowledge management in the domain.
