Nursing Case Study

Introduction

As part of the health system hierarchy taskfocused, protocol driven model of nursing organization systematically criticized for an introduction to the issue of the future contribution of the profession (Spitzer, 1998). In the UK, increasing the participation of nursing and midwifery staff of the front under the policy, planning and decision-making in their organizations, it appears as a constant priority in the NHS modernization agenda (Department of Health, 1999, 2000, 2001). This priority was reinforced by the modernization of the agency to list on the creation of routes for the collection and dissemination of knowledge i''znaete like.'' From a policy perspective, for nursing and midwifery direct link has been made for some time between enhanced clinical efficacy and the development of a more open and effective communication system (Department of Health, 1999). The overall result of the modernization program of Great Britain is that the front of nurses and midwives are increasingly will act not only as information workers''''; passive consumers, job-related knowledge, but knowledge workers, the active producers and managers of professional knowledge. Rationale

Nursing and knowledge work, despite the policies of the demand for the transition to a functioning professionals as knowledge workers, the application of knowledge management theory to health care and the UK, in particular, is a relatively new phenomenon (Antrobus, 1997). Knowledge management theory argues that the strength of any organization lies in the knowledge of people, organizations. The idea is organizing effective knowledge management can enhance and improve their professional knowledge base, by gathering and sharing of experiences of leading experts.

This knowledge enables organizations and specialists to respond to changes, giving the structure of the development of new knowledge, experience and personnel (Quintas, 2002). By problematising knowledge and how different from the information and what should be effectively transferred to the organization, theory of knowledge management can offer the means to care for to begin conceptualizing a new structure of the message (Szulanski, 2000). In theory, knowledge management of many workers within the organization to act simply as passive consumers of information, which directs their actions. Eti''informatsionnyh rabotnikov''i knowledge that they consume quite sharp and clear. On the other hand, intellectuals truda''''yavlyayutsya those who are able to think critically about the knowledge of the organization by adding a personal, theoretical and tacit knowledge acquired from experience.

Framework

In nursing, the effective work of knowledge is therefore likely to depend on a combination of location, thoughtful, and experience or tacit knowledge derived from clinical practice with scientific or intellectual knowledge (Antrobus, 1997; Titchen and Ersser, 2001). Here an important distinction should be between explicit formal knowledge, such as institutional rules, which can be simply codified and does not require discussion, which will be implemented (BATE and Robert, 2002) and empirical, problem-solving elements (ili''znat that'' i''znaete like''), tacit knowledge, which were developed and refined in the process of interaction with others (Rycroft-Malone et al., 2004).

In the social constructivist theory of Knowledge Management (BATE and Robert, 2002; McAdam and Reid, 2001) transfer of knowledge is ...
