Revisiting Organisational Learning in Integrated Care

Int J Integr Care. 2017 Aug 11;17(4):4. doi: 10.5334/ijic.3047.

Abstract

Progress in health care integration is largely linked to changes in processes and ways of doing. These changes have knowledge management and learning implications. For this reason, the use of the concept of organisational learning is explored in the field of integrated care. There are very limited contributions that have connected the fields of organisational learning and care integration in a systematic way, both at the theoretical and empirical level. For this reason, hybridization of both perspectives still provides opportunities for understanding care integration initiatives from a research perspective as well as potential applications in health care management and planning.

Keywords: Integrated care; healthcare integration; knowledge management; organisational change; organisational learning.
