Abstract:

By combining virtual communities with internet portaland content management technologies, Collaborative Network Organizations (CNOs) share, access and extend the tacit and explicit knowledge within and across organizations.

CNOs are special kinds of web-enabled communities of practice, where like-minded people collaborate and work together towards a common goal, sharing the same vision and values.

Tutorial Knowledge Networks for e-health aims to provide a comprehensive and multidisciplinary system of e-health, and to evaluate its implications in terms of the bioethical and legal aspects of the relationship between patient, physician and health facilities.

This will occur as a result of an intensive collaboration and sharing of knowledge among the Collaborative Network Organizations (CNOs).
