Preface
The intersection between knowledge management, computer science, and health care defines a technological area of great interest that has not been operated properly. Within this area medical procedures on preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic, or prognostic tasks in health care play an outstanding role. The management of this type of knowledge at the point of care includes four technological scopes, at least. The first one establishes the languages and structures to represent health care procedural knowledge and the integration of these structures with medical information systems. The second consists of the development of algorithms and computer science technologies for the operation of this knowledge. The third scope is concerned with the development of methodologies to maximize the benefit of these algorithms and methodologies. The fourth concerns the integration of the previous algorithms, technologies, and methodologies in computer science systems that allow the application of this knowledge at the point of need, harnessing health care of greater quality and efficiency. Under this vision, the workshop Knowledge for Management Health Care Processes (K4HelP 2008) was organized as part of the 18th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AIME 2008) and centered on the following topics: formalization of medical processes an
