The study sought to understand the relationship among organisations, knowledge and complexity so that managers could develop more effective strategies when working with organisational knowledge and complexity. The theoretical framework of the theme was elaborated from Web of Science and then an analysis of identified approximations, relations and boundaries was carried out. Aiming at greater consistency regarding the approximations and boundaries among the studied themes, we sought complex organisations that contemplated knowledge as a resource. The initial search retrieved 95 articles, and after content analysis was performed, we identified 25 articles considering complex organisations as social organisms and knowledge as a resource. In this sense, difficulties were observed regarding the definition of the concept of complex organisation, as well as regarding the understanding of knowledge as a resource. After the analysis of the 25 articles, eight pointed to some characteristic of complex organisations, and this corpus does now allow to relate and identify the impact of knowledge on complexity, or complexity on knowledge. From these considerations, we discuss ways to manage complexity and knowledge as elements inserted in the organisational context.

Background With the aging population on the rise, the demand for effective health care solutions to address adverse drug events is becoming increasingly urgent. Telemedicine has emerged as a promising solution for strengthening health care delivery in home care settings and mitigating drug errors. Due to the indispensable role of family caregivers in daily patient care, integrating digital health tools has the potential to streamline medication management processes and enhance the overall quality of patient care. Objective This study aims to explore health care professionals’ perspectives on the use of a medication and care support system (MCSS) and collect recommendations for designing a similar tool for family caregivers. Methods Fifteen interviews with health care professionals in a home care center were conducted. Thematic analysis was used, and 5 key themes highlighting the importance of using the MCSS tool to improve medication management in home care were identified. Results All participants emphasized the necessity of direct communication between health care professionals and family caregivers and stated that family caregivers need comprehensive information about medication administration, patient conditions, and symptoms. Furthermore, the health care professionals recommended features and functions customized for family caregivers. Conclusions This study underscored the importance of clear communication between health care professionals and family caregivers and the provision of comprehensive instructions to promote safe medication practices. By equipping family caregivers with essential information via a tool similar to the MCSS, a proactive approach to preventing errors and improving outcomes is advocated.
