Knowledge Management in a Healthcare Enterprise: Creation of a Digital Knowledge Repository

Abstract

The functional efficiency of a healthcare enterprise is dependent on how its multiple disciplines create, share, and manage knowledge. The way in which a healthcare organization manages patient-centered knowledge is well-established. On the contrary, management of process-related knowledge is not well-established. There remains a tremendous amount of room for improvement in the realm of workflow, process, and day-to-day detail documentation, specifically regarding inter-facility variability in a large healthcare enterprise. In this work-in-progress paper, we aim to propose a technical solution for a collaborative approach to knowledge management in a multimodal healthcare enterprise.
