Knowledge Management Strategy
Overview
| See South Eastern Sydney Illawarra's
November 2006 Newsletter
for an excellent definition of Knowledge Management
in action. |
In 2003, a Steering Committee was established to develop
and implement a knowledge management strategy in collaboration
with the Centre for Clinical Governance Research (CCGR) at
the UNSW to support knowledge sharing across Area Health Services
and to disseminate lessons learned.
The aim of the strategy is to:
- enhance the capacity of the Quality and Safety Branch
to develop, capture and share knowledge to the NSW Health
system
- reflect knowledge management externally throughout the
health system
- ensure that evaluation and publication of work in the
Quality and Safety Branch is reported and published.
Initiatives under the strategy included the Evaluation
of the Safety Improvement Program (SIP) and Evaluation
of the Incident Information Management System (IIMS) in NSW,
development of a Lessons
Learned in Quality and Safety website (Intranet), safety
notifications. Other activities include the distribution
of information from other jurisdictions, immediate responses
to reportable incident briefs, the establishment of communities
of practice and cumulative knowledge learned from root cause
analysis processes.
