Med-Assess System for Evaluating and Enhancing Nursing Job Knowledge and Performance

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 8719))

Abstract

The European funded project Med-Assess supports assessing of work-based competences and job knowledge of nurses, indicating existing knowledge gaps, and ultimately providing recommendations for improving nursing competences. This paper presents the Med-Assess concept, and reflects the implementation results of its ontological approach for analysis and assessment of nursing job knowledge. The ontological approach matches the nursing requirements and domain specific knowledge, and provides the logic for assessment of the end-users i.e. job applicants, nurses and care-givers.
