Medical knowledge resources are increasingly available in electronic form, particularly on the World Wide Web. The promise of this medium is that it offers a vast "world of knowledge at your fingertips." The reality, however, is somewhat different, as information systems are not well integrated into clinical practice, prove difficult to find specific information in, and contain content of varying quality. The continued evolution of the medium in the future should, however, be beneficial, as synthesized evidence-based resources become available and these resources are integrated into electronic medical record systems.
医学知识资源越来越多地以电子形式提供，尤其是在万维网上。这种媒介的前景是它提供了一个“触手可及的广阔知识世界”。然而，现实情况有所不同，因为信息系统并未很好地融入临床实践，在其中查找特定信息很困难，而且包含质量参差不齐的内容。不过，随着基于证据的综合资源的出现以及这些资源被整合到电子病历系统中，该媒介在未来的持续发展应该会带来益处。
