摘要：
Tacit knowledge has long been recognised as an important component of how individuals perform. But how can tacit knowledge be measured in organisational situations? This paper explores the role of tacit knowledge in performance of individuals and teams in emergency regime of the Emergency Department (ED) of a main hospital. Content analysis of two cases support the proposition that when explicit research - in the form of protocols of care - are unsuccessful, yet a patient is saved. tacit knowledge is the only component of knowledge that can explain this surge in performance.
