From the publisher

Healthcare practitioners and managers increasingly find themselves in clinical situations where they must think fast and process myriad diagnostic test results, medications and past treatment responses in order to make decisions. Effective problem solving in the clinical environment or classroom simulated lab depends on a healthcare professional's immediate access to fresh information. The healthcare practitioner must learn to effectively manage knowledge while thinking on their feet. Knowledge Management (KM) holds the key to this dilemma in healthcare, placing value on the tacit knowledge that individuals hold within an institution and making use of IT to free up collective wisdom. This book explores the nature of KM in contemporary healthcare institutions, providing readers with an understanding of approaches to the critical nature and use of knowledge by investigating healthcare-based KM systems. This book demystifies the knowledge management process and demonstrates its applicability in healthcare, offering contemporary and clinically relevant lessons.

From the rear cover

Successful healthcare problem solving often depends on immediate access to information. Unable to consult a library while in a clinical setting, healthcare practitioners and managers must learn to effectively manage knowledge and think on their toes. Knowledge Management (KM) is an ideal system to tap the tacit knowledge individuals hold and distribute this collective wisdom throughout a healthcare institution.

Healthcare Knowledge Management: Issues, Advances, and Successes assembles a group of international contributors to explain KM and offer contemporary, clinically relevant lessons in organizational implementation. This book illustrates the effectiveness of KM by investigating real life healthcare-based systems that highlight the diversity of KM applications in the healthcare sector. Healthcare Knowledge Management is a uniquely integrative text--both a tutorial on concepts, theories, and research as well as a practical guide to managing and developing KM in the healthcare setting.

Topics covered in this book include:

-Clinical Knowledge Management - a model for primary care

-The hidden power of social networks and knowledge sharing in health care

-Constructing healthcare knowledge

-Electronic patient records

-Case studies from around the world
