The mechanism of influence of a case-based health knowledge system on hospital management systems

Abstract

In hospitals in China, the rapid development of intelligent knowledge-based systems has been accompanied by the widespread adoption of case-based health knowledge systems (CBHKS). Their implementation has provided a great opportunity for Management promotions in hospitals. However, the impact of the use of CBHKS on the improvement of hospital management efficiency has not been clearly addressed in the literature. In this study, we investigate the role of CBHKS in improving hospital management through group effectiveness and leadership performance-maintenance theory (PM). We developed a conceptual model and empirically tested it. From the theoretical standpoint, the establishment of the model not only enriched the group effectiveness and leadership performance and maintenance, but also played a positive role in promoting CBHKS systems as well as the sustained development of and innovation in group effectiveness and leadership performance-maintenance theory. From the practical standpoint, the validation of the study provides an important reference for the improvement of hospital management level and efficiency. Our findings have important implications for the effective use of CBHKS in hospitals.
