We aimed to show how in multi-disciplinary research data collected to meet the needs of one discipline can provide information of value to another.
Using the critical incident technique, 25 GPs were interviewed about recent scans requested for patients with knee and lumbar spine complaints. Transcripts of the interviews were scrutinized from both a medical and an economic perspective.
Five key economic issues where further research is needed were identified.
The total value of the information provided by multi-disciplinary research may exceed the sum of the information collected to meet the requirements of the individual disciplines.
我们旨在展示在多学科研究中，为满足一个学科需求而收集的数据如何能为另一学科提供有价值的信息。
运用关键事件技术，对25名全科医生就近期为膝关节和腰椎疾病患者所做的扫描检查进行了访谈。从医学和经济学两个角度对访谈记录进行了审查。
确定了五个需要进一步研究的关键经济问题。
多学科研究所提供信息的总价值可能超过为满足各学科要求而收集的信息之和。
