Abstract
Healthcare organizations spend hundreds of thousands implementing KM initiatives in term of developing practitioners and expert resources. One of the KM initiatives in healthcare sector is Virtual Communities of Practice (VCoPs). VCoPs are used by health professionals and researchers to improve the quality of healthcare services by enhancing health practitioners knowledge. However, some researchers and practitioners question the effectiveness of this contribution owing to the well-publicized failure of numerous KM initiatives. Based on the prior IS success theories, this article has developed a multidimensional model of VCoPs success to support knowledge sharing behaviour among healthcare practitioners. The proposed model can be used to evaluate and measure the effectiveness of VCoPs in knowledge sharing. This in turn might fill the available gap in translating research findings and evidence based practices into action (Know-Do gap) in daily healthcare practices.
