Management of Medication Knowledge in Six Finnish Primary Healthcare Centers

Reetta Raitoharju, Eeva Aarnio, Harri Oinas-Kukkonen, Teppo Räisänen, Reima Suomi, Management of Medication Knowledge in Six Finnish Primary Healthcare Centers. In: Proceedings of the 2nd International Symposium on Medical Information and Communication Technology (ISMICT’07), 2007.

Abstract:

This paper discusses the role of knowledge management in healthcare organizations. We utilize the 7C knowledge model to evaluate the knowledge creation of medical staff in the case of managing medication information. A field study was conducted in a Finnish municipality by interviewing physicians and nurses about the acquisition and utilization of medication information. The results suggest that current tools for managing medication information do not provide much support for new knowledge creation. The tools are merely seen as operational tools for delivering care. Based on the results improvements on the healthcare information systems are suggested.
