RIGHT

Recent studies highlight that risks in diagnosis and treatment are one of the most important problems in the care management. Healthcare Professionals (HCP) not having protected environment such as hospital/clinics in where practice are even more subjected to these risks and in particular the HCP in the new Member States who are facing a series of healthcaresystem reforms; it rises therefore the necessity of an improvement of HCP skills/knowledge.

RIGHT project aims to:

• develop a knowledge management system integrated with Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) systems easy to be used by Healthcare Professionals of new member States;
• provide meta-search functionality and retrieve information from multiple, distributed content sources in parallel;
• end-users to access the system from a wide variety of mobile devices in order to make the interaction with the system available from any location;
• guide HCP and medical students through a Decision Support System based on clinical guidelines issued by medical authorities;
• make available to HCP information and contacts to face the common problem of an adverse geographical distribution that implies lack of contacts with specialized structures/doctors to share knowledge but also a variety of different clinical cases to face.
