Ans) 5) Knowledge management is any system that helps people in an organization share, access, and update business knowledge and information.
- Effective knowledge management reduces operational costs and improves productivity because it provides seven key benefits:
- Spend less time recreating existing knowledge:
When information is easy to access and accurate, it reduces the
need for coworkers to interrupt each other with emails, chats, and
support tickets. Employees and especially support teams spend less
time answering repetitive questions, freeing them up to focus on
more important—and more profitable—work.
Get the information you need sooner (and with fewer headaches). If
you’ve ever sent an email asking for information only to have that
email forwarded multiple times to different people who might know
the answer, you know how unproductive it is when finding
information feels like playing a game of whack-a-mole.
- Make fewer mistakes:
The old adage “history repeats itself” is as true in business as it is in all other aspects of life. When employees aren’t sharing information, they’re doomed to repeat the same mistakes others have already made. But this is avoidable when the lessons-learned from mistakes and failures are easily accessible to everyone.
- Make informed decisions: When employees share their experiences, lessons-learned, and research on a searchable knowledge system, others can access and review that information in order to consider multiple pieces of data and differing viewpoints before making decisions.
- Standardize processes: If you’ve ever played the telephone game, you know exactly how distorted information gets when communicated by word-of-mouth and in silos. With documented and shared processes, it’s easy to make sure that everyone is on the same page and following approved procedures.
- Provide better service to employees and customers:
Effective knowledge management allows support teams to resolve employee and customer requests quickly and correctly. Employees are able to stay happy and productive, and customers place more trust in the company, which makes them more likely to purchase.
6) Creating connections between vulnerable populations and healthcare systems:
- Facilitating healthcare and social service system
navigation
- Managing care and care transitions for vulnerable
populations
- Reducing social isolation among patient populations
- Determining eligibility and enrolling individuals into health
insurance plans
- Ensuring cultural competence among healthcare professionals
serving vulnerable populations
- Educating health system providers and stakeholders about
community health needs
- Providing culturally appropriate health education on topics
related to chronic disease prevention, physical activity and
nutrition
- Advocating for underserved individuals to receive appropriate
services
- Collecting data and relaying information to policymakers to
inform policy change and development

referrals
