Hematology Confolio
This unique Internet platform, which is a product of the H-net project, is a knowledge network specifically designed for clinicians, laboratory technicians and other professionals active in the specialty of hematology.
The Hematology Confolio Network is a knowledge network of electronic repositories (e-portfolios) on the internet where you can easily search for learning resources related to hematology, upload your own resources and link to those of others.
A pilot version of the Hematology Confolio Network was launched in June 2011. A limited number of users were invited to start using the system. In the following period this group of users will be expanded, leading to an open system available to all professionals active in the field of hematology.
The users of the Hematology Confolio Network play a vital role in building and maintaining this knowledge network. By placing, describing, and updating relevant information in your personal e-portfolio, and by sharing this information with other users of your own choice (or with the world at large), hematological information of high quality is made available and shared in a way that benefits all participants of the Hematology Confolio Network.
One area in which the system will be particularly helpful is training and education. Much information stored in the system is labeled by a set off uniform ‘tags’. This tagging system is based on a harmonized curriculum in which uniform training standards are defined. Defining this curriculum and producing it in a user-friendly format called the CV Passport has been carried out as part of the H-Net project, in which more than 20 countries participated. The important benefit is that hematologists will be able to identify gaps in their knowledge and then easily find information or training opportunities to enhance their knowledge in a particular area.
The Hematology Confolio Network is a system providing a great opportunity to promote and access knowledge specific to the specialty of hematology and therefore raise the professional level of the hematology community in general, as well as on an individual basis.
