Abstract

Research emphasizes the barriers in adopting and interoperating of electronic health records (EHRs) as an important research gap needs addressed: limited adaptability negatively affects medical decisions. Though practitioners who use EHR must deal with information overload, they continue to complain that EHR is underutilized. No wonder medical errors and healthcare (HC) costs are rising. Also, there is scant literature evidence on how knowledge management (KM) systems are applied for enhancing the adoptability and interoperability of EHR. On the contrary, researchers focus on adapting electronic patient record (EPR) within KM. HC KM is a very important tool to facilitate interoperability and adaptability of EHR. Its advantages have been proven in other areas. This chapter proposes a solution - a conceptual HC KM infrastructure for EHR interoperability and adaptability. This solution reduces EHR adaptability barriers by improving interoperability and enhancing user interaction using KM tools within an e-health environment.
