Waring J, Currie G, Crompton A, et al. An exploratory study of knowledge brokering in hospital settings: facilitating knowledge sharing and learning for patient safety? Soc Sci Med. 2013;98:79-86. doi:10.1016/j.socscimed.2013.08.037.
This study explores the different ways that risk managers, risk officers, clinical leaders, and professional executives promote learning about patient safety in their organizations. The findings suggest that hybrid clinical-managers may best contribute to knowledge sharing due to their ability to bridge practice-level staff and organizational leaders.
