Question

The study's goal and hypothesis The study's goal was to investigate healthcare knowledge management issues, with a particular emphasis on how information and communication technology (ICT) might help or hurt healthcare workers' ability to share knowledge. According to the null hypothesis, ICT systems in healthcare settings do not substantially hinder knowledge management or erect noticeable obstacles. The findings of the study, however, contradict this theory since they highlight a number of ICT-related barriers in healthcare settings, suggesting that current systems may restrict rather than promote information exchange (Mustonen-Ollila et al., 2014). Key Findings The authors list a number of obstacles to efficient knowledge management in the medical field, such as limited patient data access, ineffective ICT systems, and poor communication between primary and specialty healthcare professionals. These results highlight the necessity of more integrated and efficient ICT systems to enhance patient care and operational effectiveness. In line with Mustonen-Ollila et al.'s conclusion that ICT advancements are essential, Ang et al. (2019) assert that improving communication and information transmission in healthcare settings can have a substantial impact on the quality of care.
