Outline of Final Research Achievements

Through an action research by an interdisciplinary team in cooperation with medical professionals at the Miyazaki University Hospital, where smartphones have been used along with electronic medical records, we built a theoretical model of knowledge management for clinical medicine to explain how medical professionals share and utilize a variety of data, information, and knowledge, thereby creating their clinical knowledge in a ubiquitous information environment. Also, based on analyses and evaluations of data on usage of smartphones, we made a practical guideline for the knowledge management of clinical medicine that enhances quality and safety of medical services by using smartphones.
