BUILDING KNOWLEDGE DRIVEN &
DYNAMICALLY ADAPTIVE NETWORKED COMMUNITIES WITHIN
EUROPEAN HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS
COCOON is and Integrated Project
aimed at supporting health care professional in
reducing risk management in their daily practices by
building knowledge driven and dynamically adaptive
networked communities within European healthcare
systems. The risk management for an health care
professional is completely related to its
responsibilities assumption in mainly patient
diagnosis and treatment processes. The growth of
patient judgment autonomy and level of information
together with the assessment of cost/benefit before
to decide intervention actions are three important
factors that force the health care professional in
pay much more attention in providing the right
answer to the patient problem. The increase in the
last 5 years of both juridical trials, in the
measure of 10 times, and the health care insurance
costs for the health care professional, in the
measure of 5 time, for covering the medical error
effects, are two important indicators of the
relevance of the problem at European level. To
prevent this issues the health care professional
have established various association forms such as
real associations or just informal communities that
help the health care professional in sharing the
risk and doing the right thing for the patient. None
of them are really supported by an IT solution
powered for enhancing the risk management process.
COCOON project wants to bridge the gap. Under this
scenario the main objective of COCOON project is to
support knowledge driven collaborative practices in
Networks of Healthcare Professionals in order to
minimise medical errors in diagnosis and treatment.
On this basis the main COCOON project research
directions are twofold:
- on one side the socio-economics research on health
care risk management and the related business model
for reducing risk by enabling the COCOON
technologies;
- on the other side the technological research that
wants to deal an innovative tool-set for risk
management.
