Abstract

Pediatric care practitioners are faced with increasing amounts of data that is not matched by an equivalent ability to manage and apply it for improved healthcare. Contributing to this are lack of tools and systems to aid in knowledge management. This paper presents the results of a study on a model that focusses on integrating the Knowledge management processes that contribute to improved pediatric care delivery in the context of Uganda. A field survey was conducted to empirically test the model of knowledge management in Pediatric Healthcare (PHC). The requirements were used to extend existing Knowledge management models in order to describe one suitable for pediatrics knowledge management and practice. The study identified technology, People, Storage and pediatrics knowledge integration as important requirements for successful implementation of Knowledge management in PHC practice. Regression analysis was done to show the relationships in the proposed mode and the results indicate its suitability for knowledge management in pediatric practice.
