COCOON aims at supporting health care professional in reducing risk management in their daily practices by building knowledge driven & dynamically adaptive networked communities within European healthcare systems.
The risk management for an health care professional is completely related to its responsibilities assumption in mainly patient diagnosis and treatment processes. The growth of patient judgment autonomy and level of information together with the assessment of cost/benefit before to decide intervention actions are three important factors that force the health care professional in pay much more attention in providing the right answer to the patient problem. The increase in the last 5 years of both juridical trials, in the measure of 10 times, and the health care insurance costs for the health care professional, in the measure of 5 time, for covering the medical error effects, are two important indicators of the relevance of the problem at European level. |
