Purpose – the purpose of this article is to explore how health organizations can enhance the capacity of the health workforce to put knowledge into practice to improve patient care. The researcher proposed a model designed to link all needed factors that leads to minimize know-do gap.
Methodology - The research design, guided by a Qualitative philosophy, was inductive in nature. The researcher used both a case study and an extensive literature review methodology to deduce different factors that leads to minimize know-do gap.
Findings – The proposed model provides a valuable new lens through which health workforce, managers and practitioners can minimize (Know – Do) gap in health care.
Research Limitations - The results of this study are drawn based on small sample. The validity and the theoretical soundness of the proposed model need to be tested.
Practical Implications – The (Minimizing Know – Do Gap) Model is essential to improve the application of health knowledge which will lead to better patient care.
Originality/Value – The proposed Model integrated eight essential factors which have been under examined in the literature.
