Abstract
To operate with maximum efficiency, the highly complex healthcare delivery system requires integrated knowledge management in a patient-centric context. With this technology-induced change comes a transformation in the culture and a necessarily fresh approach to relationships with peers and teams, new collaborative problem solving, shared leadership, and shared decision-making. This cultural transformation is a shift in power traditionally held by physicians in their professional role, from one focused on authority and autonomy to one focused on leadership and collaboration.
