This book aims to identify, understand and qualify barriers to the
patient-centred knowledge sharing (KS) in interprofessional
practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western Medicine
(WM) healthcare professionals in Chinese hospitals. This
collaboration is particularly crucial and unique to China since,
contrary to Western practice, these two types of professionals
actually work together complimentary in the same hospital. This
study adopted a Grounded Theory approach as the overarching
methodology to guide the analysis of the data collected in a single
case-study design. A public hospital in central China was selected
as the case-study site, at which 49 informants were interviewed by
using semi-structured and evolving interview scripts. The research
findings point to five categories of KS barriers: contextual
influences, hospital management, philosophical divergence, Chinese
healthcare education and interprofessional training. Further
conceptualising the research findings, it is identified that KS is
mostly prevented by philosophical and professional tensions between
the two medical communities. Therefore, to improve KS and reduce
the effects of the identified barriers, efforts should be made
targeted at resolving both types of tensions. The conclusion
advocates the establishment of national policies and hospital
management strategies aimed at maintaining equality of the two
medical communities and putting in place an interprofessional
common ground to encourage and facilitate communication and KS.
