Use of Information in the Clinic:

The Literature

Green et al. (2000) :

• … residents in their continuity clinics encounter new clinical questions- not including those answered by discussions with preceptors- at a rate of 2 questions for every 3 patients …. The residents pursued only 29% of their questions (p. 220).

Green and Ruff (2005):

• Physicians leave the majority of their clinical questions unanswered, witness their medical knowledge deteriorate after their training, and demonstrate wide practice variations for clinical maneuvers with established efficacy. (p. 176).

Green and Ruff (2005):

• Physicians leave the majority of their clinical questions unanswered, witness their medical knowledge deteriorate after their training, and demonstrate wide practice variations for clinical maneuvers with established efficacy. (p. 176).

Lucas, et al (2004)

• Attending physicians changed treatment for 18% of patients as a result of literature searches

• NNS = 6

Covell, Uman and Manning (1985)

• Four management decisions might have been altered if needed information had been available at the time of the patient visit

Fineberg (1987) found

• … that only 2 of 28 landmark trials were implemented within two years following their publication (p. 333). This means that new discoveries in medicine are not being quickly translated into better treatment for patients.

Ebell and Shaughnessy (2003):

• A study of 85 prominent clinically oriented medical research journals identified over 8,085 articles in a 6-month period. Even if a physician spent only 3 minutes per article, it would still take over 800 hours over the course of a year to keep up to date .

• A survey of Norwegian primary care physicians found that they spend less than 3 hours per week on all medical reading (p. S57).

Sackett and Straus (1998)

• … “found that evidence made available within seconds during rounds altered the clinical approach of at least 1 team member 48% of the time , but when evidence was not readily available, the clinicians rarely searched for it” (p. 1338).

Shin, Haynes and Johnston (1993)

• …found significant differences among how physicians treated patients with hypertension based on when they finished their training.

Ross and Verdieck (2003).

• “ One credible goal of residency education should be to endow our residents with a practical working knowledge of EBM, so we can graduate competent, confident life-long learners who provide first-class patient care according to the best evidence available” (p. 412).

Basic Principles

The Usefulness Equation

• Usefulness = Relevance x Validity Work

• Delivered directly to you by e-mail every Monday through Friday, Daily POEMs identify the most valid, relevant research that may change the way you practice. Monthly, the complete set is compiled and sent for additional summary review.

• Ongoing since 1996, our editors now review more than 1,200 studies monthly from more than 100 medical journals, presenting only the best and most relevant as POEMs.

• The acclaimed POEMs process applies specific criteria for validity and relevance to clinical practice. About 1 in 40 studies qualifies

basement with an ETSU ID card during the hours the library is closed.

• We will regularly attend morning reports and do searches.
