Abstract: Medical laboratories are complex facilities in which managing knowledge could impact patients’ lives. This paper presents a comprehensive and phased framework for knowledge management (KM) developed and applied within the Research and Medical Analysis Laboratory of the Gendarmerie Royale in Morocco. The model is built according to the PDCA wheel, and the four pillars of methodology are: leadership, knowledge core process, performance evaluation, and finally elements for its continuous improvement. This KM framework will help identify the knowledge needs and expectations of the medical laboratory’s relevant interested parties, support medical laboratory professionals with the decision-making process, and therefore enhance the quality of the services they provide.
