Abstract

The health care industry is essentially knowledge-based. The quality and efficiency of work performed depends on the ability to both manage internally created knowledge, e. g., about healing practices and available expertise as well as to enrich and integrate it with relevant external knowledge created world-wide by pharmacy research teams, international health organizations, etc. Efficient management of knowledge in health care requires, therefore, concepts and solutions for cooperation and sharing of knowledge within and between communities (Greiner & Rose, 1997).
