摘要:The knowledge management literature suggests that reuse of externalized knowledge is fundamental for
improved efficiency, reduced costs and reduced dependency on individual know-how. Rather than considering
knowledge as a specific thing the paper relates knowledge to the work people do. It suggest that
knowledge management literature avoids to take into account how knowledge needs to be made credible,
relevant and trustworthy in order to be used across time and across different contexts in large organizational
contexts. The paper analyses how work is needed to render knowledge trusted through patient
trajectories and how different contexts, people and situations shape the comprehension of trust associated
with existing knowledge. Empirically, the paper draws on different medical contexts at the University
Hospital of Northern Norway.
