Knowledge Process Models in Health Care Organisations - Ideal-typical Examples from the Field

This paper summarizes the recent work of analysing knowledge process in health care organisations with a special focus on the geriatric disciplines. A study has been performed consisting of observations in the field and interviews with the professionals. It is shown that knowledge processes have evolved over the past years. New knowledge processes are introduced and modelled by using a combined method (3LGM2 and KMDL®). An outlook is given on measuring the dissemination of knowledge through the identified processes in ongoing work.
