A descriptive single-case study using a qualitative design method was employed to explore the knowledge sharing behaviors of medical doctors in a community hospital located in the Northeastern United States. The topic was timely given that effective collaboration and coordination among healthcare providers was recognized as a vital component of quality patient care. Thus, the purpose of this study was to better understand the communication processes and knowledge flow among doctors and other healthcare professionals to gain insight into the nature of their social interactions.

520 $a A descriptive single-case study using a qualitative design method was employed to explore the knowledge sharing behaviors of medical doctors in a community hospital located in the Northeastern United States. The topic was timely given that effective collaboration and coordination among healthcare providers was recognized as a vital component of quality patient care. Thus, the purpose of this study was to better understand the communication processes and knowledge flow among doctors and other healthcare professionals to gain insight into the nature of their social interactions.
520 $a Habermas' (1984) theory of communicative action provided a non-positivist approach in interpreting human interactions where the objective, subjective, and social worlds were integrated to attain intersubjective mutuality. The theory emphasized social pragmatics and rational reconstruction among individuals who engaged in dynamic interplay to co-construct their environment. Since the purpose of the study was to explore the dialogical exchange among doctors and other healthcare professionals, Habermas' (1984) theory served as an appropriate lens to interpret the findings.
520 $a A qualitative design using three data collection techniques (documentation, non-participatory observations, and semi-structured interviews) served as the strategy of inquiry and provided triangulation. Each phase was iterative and informed subsequent phase(s) of the study. A purposeful sample was employed to recruit participants. Thirty-two of 242 doctors were targeted, 14 of the 32 participated.
520 $a The results from the data analysis identified four broad themes (collaboration and coordination emphasizing evidence-based medicine, verbal and electronic communication, transparent organizational culture, and reflective learning) which led to six key findings: doctors engaged in interdisciplinary collaboration that emphasized evidence-based medicine, doctors took initiatives to clarify and corroborate data to ensure knowledge acquisition and knowledge application were interpreted and applied as intended, social conversation created personal communication channels, electronic system facilitated communication across the organization, organizational culture strongly influenced knowledge sharing behaviors, and reflective learning was perceived as vital to individual and organizational learning.
520 $a The study concluded there was evidence that doctors at this community hospital collaborated with other healthcare professionals to effectively coordinate patient care. Notably, the types of actions displayed by doctors were consistent with Habermas' (1984) theory of communicative action. The study was completed over a period of six months.
520 $a Keywords: Knowledge sharing, knowledge transfer, knowledge sharing and medical doctors, knowledge sharing and medical/hospitals/healthcare, Inter-professional collaboration or communication, social collaboration and coordination among doctors or physicians, interdisciplinary communication or collaboration, and cross-functional communication and healthcare professionals or medical doctors.
