Abstract

Pediatric care practitioners are faced with increasing amounts of knowledge that is not matched by an equivalent ability to manage and apply it for improved healthcare. This is largely attributed to the lack of tools, systems and models that aide in Knowledge Management. The study aimed to describing a model that focuses on integrating the Knowledge Management processes that contribute to improved Pediatric care delivery in the context of Uganda. A field study was conducted to gather requirements for the model. The data collected was analyzed and the results used to extend existing Knowledge Management models in order to describe a suitable model for pediatrics Knowledge Management. The study identified technology, People, Storage and pediatrics knowledge integration as important requirements for successful implementation of Knowledge Management in pediatrics healthcare practice. An evaluation of the proposed model was done and the results indicated its suitability for Knowledge Management in pediatric practice.

儿童卫生保健实践的知识管理模型

儿科护理从业人员面临着越来越多的知识，而这些知识并没有相应的管理和应用能力来改善医疗保健。这主要是由于缺乏辅助知识管理的工具、系统和模型。该研究旨在描述一个模型，该模型侧重于整合有助于改善乌干达儿科护理服务的知识管理过程。进行了实地研究，以收集模型的需求。对收集到的数据进行分析，并将结果用于扩展现有的知识管理模型，以描述一个适合儿科知识管理的模型。本研究确定了技术、人员、存储和儿科知识整合是在儿科医疗实践中成功实施知识管理的重要要求。对所提出的模型进行了评估，结果表明其适合于儿科实践中的知识管理。
