Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to show how efficiently Siemens Healthcare connects knowledge holders and knowledge recipients from various disciplines within the company. Siemens offers its customers products and solutions for the entire range of patient care from a single source – from prevention and early detection to diagnosis, treatment, and aftercare. Optimizing clinical workflows always requires a multidisciplinary team and a collaborative structure between e.g. medical advisors, researchers, scientists, and healthcare economists. This new form of collaboration brings together experts with deep technical experience, physicians with specialized medical knowledge, as well as people with comprehensive knowledge about health economics. To create a knowledge network Siemens Healthcare introduced the Clinical Competence Centers for specialized medical knowledge, the Clinical Knowledge Base as online platform for disease specific information and the Healthcare Academy for medical education and web-based trainings. These are impressive examples of the successful knowledge management and education strategy of Siemens- the Knowledge Company.
