Abstract		Drucker wrote in the Management Challenges for the 21st Century in 1999 that the most valuable assets of 20th-century company were its production equipment. The most valuable asset of a 21st-century institution, whether business or nonbusiness, will be its knowledge workers and their productivity.Also Dalziel said that knowledge would become the source of power. The need of knowledge and knowledge capturing is important, but the most important is knowledge usage for successful problem solution. Cruel market competitiveness and continuous changes forces institutions into continuous adaptation. Knowledge workers with their knowledge and ideas could help a lot. It is necessary to involve them into changes and give them the active role. Knowledge workers wish and have to capture new information, new knowledge and experiences. Drucker said knowledge workers had to be considereda capital asset, not as a cost. Similar the investments in the knowledge are the capital asset, for workers and for institution they work for. But this is not the practice, also in the health care.
Summary		Drucker je v svoji knjigi Management Challenges for the 21st Century leta 1999 napisal, da je bila najvrednejše premoženje podjetij 20. stoletja produkcijska oprema. Najvrednejše premoženje institucij 21. stoletja, poslovnih ali neposlovnih, pa bodo njihovi znanjski delavci in njihova produktivnost. Tudi Dalziel navaja, da bo znanje postalo vir moči. Pomembna je potreba po znanju, pridobivanje znanja, najpomembnejša pa je uporaba znanja pri reševanju problemov za to, da probleme uspešno razrešimo. Neusmiljena konkurenca na trgu in neprestane spremembe silijo organizacije, da se neprestano prilagajajo. Pri tem so jim znanjski delavci s svojim znanjem in idejami lahko v veliko pomoč. Potrebno jih je vključiti v spremembe in jim omogočiti aktivno udeležbo. Znanjski delavci si želijo in morajo pridobivati nove informacije, nova znanja in izkušnje. Drucker navaja, da je znanjske delavce potrebno jemati kot kapital in ne kot strošek. Prav tako so vlaganja v znanje kapital, tako za delavce, kot za organizacijo, v kateri delujejo. V praksi pa pogosto ni tako, tudi zdravstvo ni izjema.
