AMIA Clinical Informatics Conference 2024
CIC is the clinical informatics arm of the annual AMIA conference. Semedy will join clinical informaticists of all disciplines – physicians, nurses, physician assistants, technicians, HIT developers, data analysts, C-suite executives, and more – to help bring technology advances out of the lab and into the front lines of care delivery.
Semedy’s booth features our unique Knowledge Management System (KMS) and its wide range of capabilities. We touch upon knowledge sharing with examples from healthcare and nutrition spaces. Our demo topics gave visitors an inside look on the capabilities of the software in the below use cases.

Different types of organizations build increasingly large amounts of knowledge assets. Whether or not this activity is overtly recognized and proactively managed, the organization is ultimately responsible for the accuracy and availability of the knowledge they produce. Inconsistent, incomplete, outdated, and inaccessible knowledge assets contribute to operational costs and create quality and safety risks. Such costs and risks are greater when knowledge management activities are reactive and ad-hoc, lack a formal content review and maintenance process, and are not aligned with business goals and strategies. This workshop will survey basic and advanced knowledge management topics, such as definitions of knowledge, data, and metadata; the knowledge engineering lifecycle; effective governance; best practices to manage dependencies between knowledge artifacts as they evolve; and efficient processes to guarantee structural and semantic integrity of knowledge assets. The second half of the workshop will describe the experiences, challenges, lessons learned and solutions implemented by a large-scale operational commercial knowledge management program for curating oncological treatment plans. Because this domain is semantically complex, voluminous, and constantly changing, it represents an ideal use case for both beginners and advanced informatics professionals to learn about knowledge management.
