Abstract


Health Care Management is the fastest growing economics areas in the past 20-30 years. But at the same time, the field faces overwhelming challenges such as financing the growing offerings with scarcer funding, new technologies, and changes in the physical environment. These may affect patterns of consumption (utilization of assets and resources), the distribution of incomes and wealth, the way in which people behave (in terms of making decisions, the way in which they choose to spend time on completing task) and the overall quality of life. These challenges can be overcome if knowledge is managed as a strategic resource1. Past researchers show that there is direct relationship between new ideas and human capital. As a result, investment in human capital led to growth in economic capital. The paper discusses about incorporating the tools and techniques in executing knowledge management processes in healthcare in order to make healthcare delivery more effective and efficient, and thereby maximize the full potential of all healthcare knowledge assets. The research question is “Is it a good job to put importance on Knowledge Management tools and techniques which encourages creation, use and sharing of knowledge in healthcare?” Keywords— Healthcare Organizations, Healthcare Professionals, Knowledge, Knowledge Management, Knowledge Management Tools.
