Knowledge management at public health institute
PHI celebrates four years of sharing and transferring knowledge through various strategies like knowledge mapping, communities of practice, and storytelling. PHI aims to provide strong links between public health research and policy/decision-making by establishing knowledge transfer projects and information sharing. PHI works to increase its credibility through knowledge production and providing consultancy, forums, and advice. It also aims to support evidence-based decision-making through its Evidence for Health Program and Knowledge-plus unit by increasing access to evidence and knowledge for health care and public health decision makers. PHI believes networking is an excellent strategy for knowledge sharing and hopes to create learning organizations and public-private partnerships to diversify knowledge.
