“New technology takes time to have
a big economic impact.
More importantly, businesses […]
have to adapt before that will
happen.”
http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/the_undercover_economist/2007/06/the_shock_of_the_new.html
6. Organizational Context
IT
Outcomes
Organizational contexts conducive to realizing IT value:
o give frontline staff the authority and accountability to make
decisions based on newly available, real-time data,
o and ensure they have the training and skills to do so
Lessons on Realizing IT
Value from Other Industries
e.g., Brynjolfsson E, Hitt L. (1996). Firm-level Evidence on the Returns to Information Systems Spending. Management Science.
8. The EHR-Performance Gap
On the one hand…
o Early studies from individual institutions reveal substantial quality and
efficiency gains from EHRs
Served as the motivation for HITECH
On the other hand…
o Recent, large-scale studies fail to find a consistent relationship between
EHR adoption and improved performance (e.g., Appari 2012, Adler-Milstein et al. 2013)

What is knowledge? What is
knowledge management?
In the context of this talk…
Knowledge about health
and healthcare that is
generated outside the
practice setting (provider
organization)
Knowledge management
is the dynamic set of
organizational capabilities
needed to convert
knowledge to practice
12. +
Current State
Lack consensus on KM competencies
And how they need to adapt as external knowledge and
knowledge dissemination infrastructures change
Lack data on current state of KM in US provider
organizations
Can look to leading provider organizations for
examples
13. +
Knowledge Management: Strategic Goals
Reduce the cost and increase the speed of
knowledge acquisition and maintenance for decision
support
Speed translation of clinical innovation and evidence
into clinical practice
Proactive, anticipatory decision support architecture
Improve organizational effectiveness as a learning
organization through organizational alignment and
data-driven performance improvement
Knowledge management as decision support

Content Life-Cycle Challenges:
Committee, Department,
Researcher, or Other
Proposes to Implement Content
Guideline is Defined and Validated
Functional Knowledge Specification
For Encoding is
Designed and Validated
Ongoing Revisions or
Eventual Sunset
Of Encoded Guideline
•Prioritization mechanism not always clear
•Stewardship processes not always clear
•Lack of coordination
•Unclear mechanism for subject matter expert participation…
•No budgetary model to reimburse experts…
•No tools to support efficient collaboration
•Little or no audit trail of decisions made
•Project competition with other engineering projects,
prioritization processes unclear
•Knowledge editors typically do not enable content
auditing, knowledge editors siloed, no support of
inheritance or propagation
•Little or no documentation about content in production
•MS Office doesn’t help maintain data about content
•Little analytic data available on decision support content or
impact on clinical outcomes impact to direct updating
•Tendency to rely on query of transaction systems
•No content management tools to support process and
ensure timeliness
Specification is
Engineered into Production Generating
a Technical Specification

Evolving knowledge management infrastructure:
Knowledge Management Generation 1:
• Build and deploy a document library to provide enterprise wide access
to specifications of decision support knowledge
• Inventory all structured knowledge in production
• Create and develop a knowledge repository
Knowledge Management Generation 2:
• Implement tools to support collaborative content consensus, iterative
drafting of guidelines and conversion to functional knowledge
specifications
• Knowledge repository expanded to support browsing of pre-production
and “in-production” knowledge
• Implement tools to support content management processes using
lifecycles and workflows (knowledge maintenance)
Knowledge Management Generation 3:
• Integrate legacy and new content authoring tools with content
management infrastructure (knowledge editing)

Current State
KM not a recognized “competency” of provider
organizations
Where KM is occurring, it is mostly focused on:
Proving access to external information resources
Deciding what should decision support should include
Substantial disparities in KM capabilities by type of
provider organization
17. +
Two observations
The huge investment in 21st century health
knowledge generation has not been coupled with
investment in 21st century knowledge
application.
It is critical to anticipate how knowledge will
change, and how healthcare delivery
organizations will need to adapt.

Knowledge will:
Come in more forms and at different levels of scale (i.e.,
individual, population)
Be regularly changing and updating
Be inherently probabilistic
Be customizable to specific people and situations
Come via more channels (i.e., beyond journals and
guidelines)
Come from a variety of sources
Be more accessible
Be a recognized “entity”

What do we know about how to do
these things well?
Tidbits like…
Healthcare delivery organizations will need a workforce that
includes those with familiar titles (e.g., “doctor” and “nurse”) but
new skillsets, alongside people with entirely new roles.
These new skillsets and roles are beginning to be conceptualized
and articulated in the form of competencies that include: (1)
knowing what you do and don’t know, (2) ability to ask a good
question, and (3) skills in evaluating and weighing evidence.
Yet there is no guidance for healthcare delivery organizations in
terms of how to increase these competencies in their workforce.
31. +
What do we know about how to do
these things well?
Literature from other industries that are ahead of
healthcare in their data science maturity
Point to the need to put information and the relevant decision
rights in the same location.
Specifically, when information is created and transferred, and expertise
is often not where it used to be, an organization needs to be flexible
enough to minimize the “not invented here” syndrome and maximize
cross-functional cooperation.
Also a need to shift the culture of an organization to one in which
the first question is not “What do we think?” but “What do we
know?” as well as “Where did the data come from?”, “What kinds
of analyses were conducted?” and “How confident are we in the
results?”
32. +
Concluding Thoughts
Nascent state of understanding about
how knowledge characteristics will change,
how healthcare delivery organizations will need to
change in response,
how to execute those changes
Such understanding is necessary to bridge the
“last mile” of the learning health system.
It is therefore imperative to begin the process of
discovery.
