Sharing medical process knowledge among physicians in the same specialty practice group to improve healthcare delivery

摘要

Facing the contextual changes in healthcare delivery system, physicians should share medical process knowledge with their colleagues in the same specialty practice group to further improve healthcare performance. We propose a research model based on the Theory of Planned Behavior to explore the contributing factors and performance consequence of knowledge sharing behaviors. The results would benefit healthcare management for structuring a favorable organizational environment that is conducive to physician professional development and healthcare delivery quality improvement.
