Winchester Medical Center Grand Rounds 2005 ©2005, Scott M. Strayer, MD, MPH Information Mastery at the Point of Care How do we learn? • Adults learn by solving problems • Our “problems” = clinical questions • CME can highlight advances and make us aware of our deficits • Answering clinical questions in the context of a real case at the point of care is how we learn Winchester Medical Center Grand Rounds 2005 ©2005, Scott M. Strayer, MD, MPH Information Mastery at the Point of Care Clinical questions • They’re common: Average 1 question for every other patient • They’re important – – – – Only 1 in 3 questions pursued Found “answer” 80% of time Guess at 70-80% of information needs! Journals only used to answer 2 of 1101 questions in busy practice – Books, colleagues used most often Ely JE. Analysis of questions asked by family doctors regarding patient care. BMJ 1999;319:358-61 Winchester Medical Center Grand Rounds 2005 ©2005, Scott M. Strayer, MD, MPH Information Mastery at the Point of Care Clinical Questions • Internal Medicine Residents – 2 for every 3 patients – 29% pursued – textbook (31%); journals (21%); attendings (17%) • Patient expectation, fear of malpractice associated with seeking answer • Lack of time (60%), forgot (29%).

Strayer, MD, MPH Information Mastery at the Point of Care Choosing EBM Sources 1. How is the information filtered? – – – – Patient- vs disease- oriented? Specialty-specific? Comprehensive? Which journals? Does it matter (it should change my practice) or is it simply news? 2. Is the information valid? – – – – Is level or strength of evidence labeled? Beware “Trojan Horse”! How often updated? Evidence or expert opinion Winchester Medical Center Grand Rounds 2005 ©2005, Scott M. Strayer, MD, MPH Information Mastery at the Point of Care Two Tools Needed to Master Information • A method of being alerted to new information (foraging) • A tool for finding the information again when you need it. (hunting) • Without both: – You don’t know that new info. is available – You can’t find it when you do Winchester Medical Center Grand Rounds 2005 ©2005, Scott M.
