Introduction
Intranets basic tools in the commercial world 1 Within NHS in its infancy, potential for misuse under scrutiny 2
Commercial experience suggests intranets are sine qua non for the capture of implicit knowledge 3
Culture,not technical infrastructure influences the dissemination of knowledge,4
Implicit knowledge capture built on the existing culture not an imposed organisational directive
Intranets are often designed with explicit knowledge in mind, NELHs section on knowledge management, is titled “managing
explicit knowledge” 5

Our Aim
Our focus -on implicit knowledge management
The aim-to build on existing cultural structures to capture organisational implicit knowledge
Existing NHS wide KM -to be integrated rather than reinvented
![Page 5: Towards Capturing Implicit Knowledge: A Practical Application of Intranet Development. Dr C J Mimnagh Clinical Knowledge Manager St Helens & Knowsley Health](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649edf5503460f94bef7c0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Organisational Background
St Helens & Knowsley health community 320,000 Patients/ Citizens Two primary care trusts (PCTs) One acute trust
The Health Informatics service February 2001 Merging staff from
Primary care Community trust Secondary care
![Page 6: Towards Capturing Implicit Knowledge: A Practical Application of Intranet Development. Dr C J Mimnagh Clinical Knowledge Manager St Helens & Knowsley Health](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649edf5503460f94bef7c0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Intranet Development
Clinical Knowledge Manger Part Time Post “to bring about the learning organisation”
Webheads 5 Person Team.
The intranet is a community wide initiative, Evolved from the trust network
![Page 7: Towards Capturing Implicit Knowledge: A Practical Application of Intranet Development. Dr C J Mimnagh Clinical Knowledge Manager St Helens & Knowsley Health](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649edf5503460f94bef7c0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Developmental Approach
Scenario mapping, Considering the communication flows Multiple system levels Primary care was considered at
The practice level, The primary care group/trust (PCG/T) level Functionally adjacent structures, e.g. Other PCGs
![Page 8: Towards Capturing Implicit Knowledge: A Practical Application of Intranet Development. Dr C J Mimnagh Clinical Knowledge Manager St Helens & Knowsley Health](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649edf5503460f94bef7c0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Developmental Approach
Secondary care was considered at the level of: Ward Department Directorate Functionally adjacent organisations, e.g. Other hospitals
![Page 9: Towards Capturing Implicit Knowledge: A Practical Application of Intranet Development. Dr C J Mimnagh Clinical Knowledge Manager St Helens & Knowsley Health](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649edf5503460f94bef7c0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Results and Development
The output form this phase of the development was a categorisation of the knowledge artefacts/sources
The means by which knowledge is gained by one component of the health community from another
Three kinds of artefacts/sources; “Person” sources
Individuals whose experience could be accessed directly to gain information
![Page 10: Towards Capturing Implicit Knowledge: A Practical Application of Intranet Development. Dr C J Mimnagh Clinical Knowledge Manager St Helens & Knowsley Health](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649edf5503460f94bef7c0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Results and Development
Departmental sources Documents which were circulated within the unit
containing explicit knowledge Communal sources
Which occurred in intra-departmental meetings, disease specific groups, or process specific meetings
![Page 11: Towards Capturing Implicit Knowledge: A Practical Application of Intranet Development. Dr C J Mimnagh Clinical Knowledge Manager St Helens & Knowsley Health](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649edf5503460f94bef7c0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Product Development
These artefacts consistent with the principles of knowledge management outlined by Davenport and Prusak
They suggest three essential components in any attempt at managing implicit knowledge;
Directory services Communities of practice Lessons learned
![Page 12: Towards Capturing Implicit Knowledge: A Practical Application of Intranet Development. Dr C J Mimnagh Clinical Knowledge Manager St Helens & Knowsley Health](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649edf5503460f94bef7c0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Challenge:
Create a health community wide intranet That builds on existing activity Synergistic effect of a KM focus

Directory Services
A directory service is not a phone book knowledge /skills /learning repository Minimum data set of demographic details Includes soft issues
Current projects Clinical and non clinical skills Hobbies and interests
The user controls the content, through a secure password Provides a single log on for all the intranet functions

Web Communities
Communities of practice / Communities of Interest cover a range of topics from managerial to disease
specific
The framework enables those groups to Share their work, Engage members and non members in discussion Contribute to the organisational knowledge base Provides approval process for documents

Implementation to Date
The current version of the intranet was launched in February 02 The roll out has been on a departmental basis, Currently 10% of the health community with access to the intranet has
registered in the directory service Across all community, not just hospital or primary care.
Over 800 Documents have been uploaded Over 1000 Websites Submitted 40 Web communities created Bedstate on Line Library development ongoing CHI impressed with ease of use

Lessons Learned and Conclusion
Departments that are geographically dispersed have showed the greatest interest in the web communities,
Access to the network is still a problem Elbowing Ward Clerks
Other interested parties include groups that do not represent a distinct organisational entity
To date the nature of the artefacts submitted tends not to be personal work, but departmental or organisational in nature
This possibly suggests that the confidence to share our “own work” will take time to be established
It could be argued that explicit knowledge management must be in place for implicit KM to work, and that personal knowledge will be the hardest commodity to share
