3.1 Estimation of the Status of HKM in China
According to the results, accounting for 36.2%, medical staff had admitted KM implementation, but most of them had not realized a meaningful KM. HKM was distributed in the process of hospital management. It is a state of no rules to constrain, no expert to manage, no plan to implement and no norm to follow. As shown in fig. 12, hospitals achieving institutionalization of HKM accounted only for 1.6%, those generalizing and supporting KM system accounted for 7.7%, those constructing the KM system accounted for 11.6%, those planning KM accounted for 18.6%, and those in the initiation stage accounted for 60.5%. Apart from some incorrect data, the hospitals conducting KM system are not many in the present, which means the KM in Chinese hospitals is in the primary stage.
