A total of 131 articles were initially identified from the databases, including research articles examining factors related to the application of knowledge management. There were data extraction, quality assessment, and the analysis of the data that were conducted for all included studies. A manual content analysis was employed to classify and categorize the identified factors. There were 11 research articles in total that were used in the final review. Content analysis yielded three main groups of factors: (1) individual-related factors, (2) organizational-related factors, and (3) technology-related factors. Conclusion: Healthcare requires robust knowledge management (KM) to support medical team collaboration, best practice sharing, and innovation in patient care.
