Health Information Technology in Hospitals: Towards a Culture of EI&K Sharing
Patient Safety, pp 219-232
2014
Abstract
A fundamental assumption in healthcare is that evidence, information and
knowledge (EI&K) are essential to providing safe patient care. To understand
this assumption it is necessary, however, to look beyond the development and
promulgation of guidelines and sharing of patient data. Instead, the ways that
people and organizations can fully implement what they know to be effective
need to be examined. That is, identifying scientific evidence is but an initial
step in the creation of a culture based on evidence; the next step is developing
practice guidelines that are then disseminated.
