Despre Psihnet

PsihNet is since December 2006 one of the activities of the project  Reinforce!, financed by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MATRA).

PsihNet is now in development to act as a nation-wide knowledge base.

In order to further implement PsihNet, the use of Infomation and Communication Technology is mandatory since travelling is too expensive and time consuming - espessially for younger professionals and working students. However ICT is still not widespread in Romania, so special attention (and support) must be given in order to afford access to the Internet to all participants.

PsihNet aims to support all participants in Romanian psychiatry and their mutual collaboration on the following targets:

Improving Communication:

• Offering access to relevant Infomation Sources for all professionals
• Making Special Information available to Professionals
• Presenting Information to the Public

Knowledge Acquisition:

• Publishing new and providing access to existing Documents and Papers
• Promoting and supporting Study Groups
• Organising Training Programmes, Workshops and Courses on special topics
• Stimulating Innovation and Research

Quality Development:

• Implementing Quality Care standards
• Improving Education
• Giving Evidence Based Advices to Authorities
• Supporting Initiatives of Patients and their Relatives
