Improving quality and reducing the expenses in Department of Health has always been one of the main priorities of different stakeholders and value seekers in this very prominent section of communities and governments. Knowledge asset management in this field has had an undeniable effect on the aspects of quality improvement and cost reduction strategies as well as playing an effective role in medical decision making and clinical processes. The purpose behind the present study was achieving a true understanding of the actual position knowledge management processes in health centers and hospitals. Moreover, it was aimed at proposing technology-driven solutions, based on knowledge management, to manage such valuable medical assets. The current study was qualitative from the viewpoint of administrative process, and falls into applied research from the perspective of results. In addition, in order to describe and discover the phenomena relating to knowledge management in hospitals, field studies have been drawn upon. To represent the findings, different approaches and methods regarding knowledge management in hospitals were expressed. In knowledge acquisition level, controlled and uncontrolled activities to elicit knowledge have been considered. Knowledge storage process, knowledge encoding, and benefits of reusing knowledge repertoires in hospitals have been regarded as well. Also, in publishing and distributing sector of knowledge, access was personalized and maintaining security has been expressed. Meanwhile, in the implementation and operation phase, the manner of using proved explicit knowledge has been mentioned. The results show that tools and indices of knowledge management are capable of helping the hospitals in acquisition, storage, retrieval, and learning assets relating to knowledge, both tangibly and non-tangibly. Applying knowledge process in order to utilize tacit and explicit knowledge in hospital environment is recommended.
