The literature search described four keyword groups based on Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) and the search description was (knowledge management*' OR 'SECI knowledge management') AND ('health care' OR hospital). The article searched was found 13 articles suitable with the eligibility criteria, the results of the systematic review found that knowledge management had the effectiveness to provide information and knowledge processes, improve decision-making abilities, improve performance and quality of health services and increase organizational effectiveness.
