Abstract: This article explores Knowledge Management (KM) practices among doctors and nurses in Malaysia. A total of 59 interviews were conducted with doctors and nurses from two hospitals. The data analysis employed in vivo coding and process coding techniques. The findings suggest a process-oriented strategy for managing knowledge among doctors and nurses in a clinical work environment. The development of this strategy can help the healthcare workers and management to evaluate and further improve their current KM practices. Additionally, this article adds another KM strategy to the literature that is tailored to supporting healthcare organization. Future studies may want to replicate the proposed strategy in different settings such as other clinical or non-clinical departments within the hospital, other public or teaching hospitals or private hospitals.
