This study adopted a Grounded Theory approach as the overarching methodology to guide the analysis of the data collected in a single case-study design.  A public hospital in central China was selected as the case-study site, at which 49 informants were interviewed by using semi-structured and evolving interview scripts.  The research findings point to five categories of KS barriers: contextual influences, hospital management, philosophical divergence, Chinese healthcare education and interprofessional training.  Further conceptualising the research findings, it is identified that KS is mostly prevented by philosophical and professional tensions between the two medical communities.  Therefore, to improve KS and reduce the effects of the identified barriers, efforts should be made targeted at resolving both types of tensions. The conclusion advocates the establishment of national policies and hospital management strategies aimed at maintaining equality of the two medical communities and putting in place an interprofessional common ground to encourage and facilitate communication and KS. 410 0$aInnovation, Technology, and Knowledge Management,$x2197-5698 606 $aHealth services administration 606 $aHealth services administration 606 $aCultural studies 606 $aMedical informatics 606 $aHealth Care Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/527030 606 $aCultural Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22040 606 $aHealth Informatics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H28009 615 0$aHealth services administration. 615 0$aHealth services administration. 615 0$aCultural studies. 615 0$aMedical informatics. 615 14$aHealth Care Management. 615 24$aCultural Studies. 615 24$aHealth Informatics. 676 $a610.2854 700 $aZhou$b Lihong$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0739823 702 $aNunes$b José Miguel Baptista$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298467003321 996 $aKnowledge Sharing in Chinese Hospitals$92536950 997 $aUNINA
