Abstract:
Abstract--In the last decade, the government of Saudi Arabia has given high priority to developing and implementing e-healthcare services and technologies. However, it has met a number of barriers in implementing its healthcare initiatives. This paper describes these barriers and proposes an e-health knowledge management framework to overcome these barriers by integrating developments from knowledge management with knowledge discovery techniques. This framework should assist in the delivery of competitive e-healthcare services and improve intellectual capital to provide smart health services in the country. The proposed framework will be applied to the domain of diabetes.
