Vital information for cancer control is being generated every day throughout the country. At the same time, every Canadian can benefit from the best available knowledge about preventing, detecting and treating cancer, and support in facing a diagnosis of cancer.
Knowledge management aims to maximize the value of this constantly evolving inform-ation, through the establishment of networks of collaboration, with the ultimate goal of using these resources to solve common challenges in cancer control. Technology plays a crucial role in this work to foster the creation, exchange and application of accurate, timely information.
In 2008-2009, the Partnership made significant progress toward creating a common knowledge management infrastructure for cancer control in Canada, and building capacity and skills in knowledge management and leadership in the Canadian cancer sector.
The primary bases for this work are two leading-edge projects, Cancer View Canada, a portal to comprehensive cancer control resources, and a Cancer Risk Management initiative that aims to support decision-making in cancer control.
