Hello
I
just looked at the Funding Opportunities with the NIHR Health Services and
Delivery Research programme.
Research
Brief 12/5002 calls for proposals on research to improve knowledge
transfer and innovation in healthcare delivery and organisation.
This
brief is worth reading for its approach to the main topic areas, particularly
in its concentration on how information supports managers. In particular,
this paragraph caught my eye
“A recent SDO-funded scoping review in this area
concluded, “the bulk of future organisational activity in knowledge
mobilization needs to be devoted to building high learning capacity and
appropriate core competences in NHS organizations rather than relying on a
technological fix to construct formal knowledge management systems.” (Ferlie
2010) At present though, we do not know enough about what these core
competences and positive organisational features look like. [Note – I haven’t
found this quotation from Ferlie in following up the reference....]
The next
area of work looks at the development of “improving critical review
capacity in managers” – critical appraisal skills and more.
The L
word doesn’t seem to be used, and knowledge management isn’t used
much, but this is important background for the work we do and aspire to
support.
