Knowledge Sharing and Design Discourses Among Healthcare Practitioners

This paper explores the role of a digital channel as catalyst for employee-driven innovation in the domain of daily operations in the health care sector, enabling knowledge sharing in the innovation ecology. A program for organizational knowledge sharing is introduced as a collaborative initiative between a technical university and Danish hospitals. This study follows a design research methodology applying design interventions with the outset in a baseline survey. Key findings strongly indicate that the proposed channel promotes the design discourse among healthcare practitioners at hospitals.
