Knowledge Management (KM) in Radioactive Waste Management (RWM)

By writing this paper we tried to illustrate the practical difference between KM initiatives in R&D and industry. However, the overlapping of the approaches at some certain stages are visible. The information management has been considered as an essential part of the knowledge management in both of organizations. The capture of the critical knowledge in both organizations remains a main issue even if the selected methods are different. The coaching & mentoring program which are well implemented at the IRE (HZDR), are may be difficult to realize/accomplish at the BGE. However, the pilot coaching program is planned at the BGE, but currently not available due to the “young” founding date in 2017. One of the main concerns of the BGE as an implementer, is the motivation and encouragement of all employees to share and distribute their knowledge and benefit from each other.

Learning to Support Computable  Biomedical Knowledge (CBK) (open access)

Learning to Support Computable Biomedical Knowledge (CBK)

Using technology and e-publication formats, Mobilizing Computable Biomedical Knowledge (MCBK) aims to promote learning health services and reduce time to get healthcare products to patients. This paper summarizes developing a community of practice (CoP) experts, providing educational activities, and plans for sustainable Open Educational Resource (OER) materials online as funded by an IMLS grant.* Activities were part of a pilot training for 20 knowledge managers, students and professionals in Library and Information Science (LIS) in December, 2021. The educational goal is to introduce MCBK concepts globally and and to promote KM and LIS leadership in designing healthcare repositories and accessing information. Beyond text and graphics, CBK publications provide encodable prediction models and computable information in electronic media. It is “dynamic knowledge” in open access formats. Such computable knowledge allows readers to evaluate and validate data or tools that may, for example, compute a risk score for infection. Analysis and review by e-journal readers may reduce time to implementation in healthcare systems or K2P (knowledge to performance) from years with traditional peer- reviewed publications to months using electronic, open access. The summaries and exercises in this paper are from presentations during the pilot training, which were assessed and recommended by student …
