(2009) Identifying the knowledge-to-action gaps, Knowledge Translation in Health Care, Wiley-Blackwell The persistent gap between available evidence and current practice in healthcare reinforces the challenge of finding effective solutions. Contributing to this current status have been the complexity of change process, limitations of research on implementation, and slow recognition of the critical role of organizational context Stelter, C.B. et al.

Dissemination: the complex process of moving research into practice Graham et al. (2006)” Lost in Knowledge Translation: Time for a Map?” The Journal of Continuing Education in the Health Professions Knowledge as capabilities Underlines the potential of organizational structures and resources to support people in their attempts to use knowledge Knowledge as process Emphasizes flexibility in knowledge use and the need to contextualize knowledge (plausibility, acceptability and feasibility) Knowledge as codification Focuses on the role of codified knowledge to govern health-care organizations Denis, J-L, Lehoux, P (2009), Organizational theory, Knowledge Translation in Health Care Taken together, these three building blocks reflect a constant tension between the search for conformity between researchbased evidence and organizational practices and the need for in-situ learning and adaptation in order to bring about quality and performance improvement Denis, J-L, Lehoux, P (2009), Organizational theory, Knowledge Translation in Health Care Explicit (formal) knowledge versus Tacit knowledge Knowledge gaps Have Esplicit Knowledge Know Knowledge you know you have Tacit Knowledge Don’t know Knowledge you don’t know you have Don’t have Knowledge gaps Knowledge you know you don’t have Unknown gaps Knowledge you don’t know you don’t have Tacit knowledge (definition) Knowledge that is not made explicit because it is highly personal, not easily visible or expressible, and usually requires joint, shared activities in order to transmit it. Examples of tacit knowledge include subjective insights and intuitions. Tacit knowledge (implications) With tacit knowledge, people are not often aware of the knowledge they possess or how it can be valuable to others. Effective transfer of tacit knowledge generally requires extensive personal contact and trust. In any organization the goal is to create a hybrid design for its knowledge management practice that synthesizes the “right” combination and balance of the tacit and explicit knowledge management approaches. The half-life of knowledge is decreasing The half-life of knowledge can be interpreted as the time-scale in which knowledge is replaced by new knowledge. The half-life of ICT knowledge is already considered to be less than nine months. In medicine the “half life” of knowledge” is 3-4 years. Does the workforce generalise or specialise? European Commission, “Changing professions in 2015 and beyond”, 2006 Currently, the professional faces the increased dynamics of knowledge. The supervisor cannot reasonably be expected to be up to date and be able to understand everything, when the knowledge that they use changes. As the half-life of knowledge decreases this gap will increase ever further. To remedy this effect, it will be important that the supervisors become generalists when they climb up the ranks. European Commission, “Changing professions in 2015 and beyond”, 2006 Currently, a surgeon who has climbed up the ranks supervises a set of surgeons. He can therefore easily switch between the surgeons he supervises. In the future this will no longer be the case. The doctors he supervises become more specialised. Their expertise focuses on one area. Consequently not only does the knowledge gap between the various doctors increase, also the gap of knowledge will increase between the supervisor and his employees. A change of skills of the doctors is therefore essential. European Commission, “Changing professions in 2015 and beyond”, 2006 The increased knowledge gap between the various experts and their supervisors will necessitate a change of skills. In the future the supervisor will have to be able to bridge the knowledge gap between the doctors and him. Unless the skills of the supervisor change, these gaps cannot be bridged. European Commission, “Changing professions in 2015 and beyond”, 2006 As knowledge becomes more dynamic and the amount of information is rising, professionals in the health care sector will face a choice. They can either generalise or specialise. European Commission, “Changing professions in 2015 and beyond”, 2006 Knowledge gaps Have Esplicit Knowledge Know Knowledge you know you have Tacit Knowledge Don’t know Knowledge you don’t know you have Don’t have Knowledge gaps Knowledge you know you don’t have Unknown gaps Knowledge you don’t know you don’t have Dalla conoscenza alla competenza Quando possiamo dire che il soggetto possiede effettivamente una competenza? Una competenza è sempre associata alla presenza nel soggetto di uno specifico modello mentale relativo a quel dato dominio. Un modello mentale è la "teoria" che guida il soggetto nelle decisioni e nelle scelte che egli compie quando si trova ad agire nel mondo. R. Trinchero in “Le risorse culturali della rete”, Milano, Franco Angeli, 2003 I soggetti che sono in grado di ristrutturare rapidamente ed efficacemente i propri modelli mentali, e che sono aperti alla sperimentazione e accettazione di modelli mentali alternativi in risposta agli stimoli che provengono dall'esterno, sono quelli che riescono meglio ad adattarsi all'ambiente, dato che sono in grado affrontare situazioni nuove, impreviste e complesse con decisioni maggiormente efficaci ed efficienti (teoria della flessibilità cognitiva) R. Trinchero in “Le risorse culturali della rete”, Milano, Franco Angeli, 2003 Nella competenza non rientra quindi solo la padronanza di un modello mentale adeguato ma anche la sua capacità di ristrutturazione in relazione agli eventi contingenti. Questo è uno degli elementi che contraddistingue il comportamento comunemente definito intelligente: il fatto di non rimanere fermi ad oltranza sulle proprie posizioni ma di sintonizzarsi di volta in volta sulla specifica situazione. R. Trinchero in “Le risorse culturali della rete”, Milano, Franco Angeli, 2003 Dilbert’s theorem on salary (by Scott Adams) Enunciato : Ingegneri e scienziati non guadagneranno mai quanto i commercianti e gli uomini d’affari Dimostrazione Postulato 1: il Sapere è Potere (Sapere = Potenza) Postulato 2: il Tempo è Denaro (Tempo = Denaro) In fisica: Potenza = Lavoro/Tempo Sostituendo abbiamo: Sapere = Lavoro/Denaro Quindi Denaro = Lavoro / Sapere Quando il Sapere tende a zero, il Denaro tende a infinito, indipendentemente dal lavoro svolto. Conclusion: The Less you Know, the More you Make.
