In the medical industry, doctors play a core role in promoting and improving patients¡¦ health conditions. In this pursuit, effective knowledge sharing between doctors and doctors and between doctors and patients is a critical element. In this study, the theory of social recognition is adopted to research doctor-to-doctor and doctor-to-patient knowledge sharing practices in a medical Center. The results show that at the individual level, self-promotion, professional pride, and a doctor¡¦s personal traits may influence their knowledge sharing practices. At the environments level, the factors are the master-apprentice system, changing values, the reward system, Electronic Patient Record (EPR), the assurance system, the education of doctors, and the progression of medical technique. Both the individual and environmental then interact reciprocally with the behavioral patterns that can be characterized by the following: the nomadic relationship between doctors and patients, poor doctor-patient communication, hollow authority, Electronic Patient Record (EPR), the cooperation in the medical family, the solitary individuality, the friendship of colleagues, and the influence of atmosphere in the hospital.
To promote doctor-to-doctor or doctor-to-patient knowledge sharing practices, we suggest that hospitals should develop the assistant system of medical procedure for patients. This system may broadcast the Q&A for patients in the waiting room, check medical examples, and provide pertinent explanations for medical conditions. Last, we propose the development of web-based services to promote teamwork, case database to support analysis, and a problem-based learning system to facilitate doctor-doctor knowledge sharing practices.
