Title Knowledge sharing in medical team: knowledge, knowledge management, and team knowledge
 
Creator Péter Hámornik, Balázs

Description Nowadays medical work is team work of several professionals (like for
example in rehabilitation) so knowledge is a central issue in this field:
the fast growing biomedical knowledge base is needed to be applied as fast
and as effectively as possible to avoid medical errors. The suitable method
for this purpose is a knowledge management system, which is based on the
specialties of medical knowledge, and the expert teams of physicians and
related professionals. The aim of this article is to review the literature
on three levels: (1) personal level (medical knowledge and
knowledge encapsulation theory by Boshuizen and Schmidt (1992)
(2) team level (medical teamwork, e.g. in rehabilitation); (3) and
organizational level (knowledge management systems).
The medical work has some specialties that constraint the possibilities of
knowledge management. On one hand, medical knowledge in a high level of
expertise is activated faster, but in a less detailed manner compared to
other domains of knowledge; it is stored in an \textitencapsulated form. On the other hand, as a
consequence of medical work, any effective knowledge management system must
be ``baked in´´ the daily routine (Devenport, Glaser 2002).
The
user interface must be on the spot, avoiding additional efforts, and time
needs. As a conclusion, this review is the integration of experiences and
results from group interaction researches in high risk environment, and the
practices from the knowledge management applications in several domains of
work and to find the theoretical possibilities of a successful knowledge
management system in the medical field.
