Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to enlighten a new approach to study the Knowledge Transfer (KT) through Systems Thinking (ST) in relation with the implementation of Knowledge Management System (KMS) at the practice of the healthcare. Thus, integration between the KT and ST aims to open a door for a new literature about Knowledge Management theory in the healthcare context. This paper used many key philosophical concepts drawn from the ST theory and KT to investigate deeper understanding of the issues around KMS implementation practically in the context of the hospitals. In favour of these objectives, this paper conducted a case study on the implementation of the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) at BP Trust in the UK. Base on the business case of the project, EPR is perceived as a representative of KMS initiative project in the Trust.
