The utility of the online computer services BRS Colleague and Dialog Medical Connection, when used primarily as drug information sources by physicians, nurses, and pharmacists and attitudes toward their use, are described. Study sites included office-based medical practices, a university clinic family medicine group, and a university clinical pharmacy department. Participants had access to either of the computer services during two 9 1/2-month periods. All searches were automatically recorded and analyzed. A total of 1,112 search sessions were conducted (78% by pharmacists, 16% by nurses, 6% by physicians) by 38 of 65 participants. Information which completely answered questions was found for slightly less than one-third of searches. Errors occurred in about 81% of searches which retrieved incomplete information. Lack of time was a major factor which limited use of the services, and infrequent users felt that the services did not fit in well with their daily work routine.
描述了在线计算机服务BRS Colleague和Dialog Medical Connection主要被医生、护士和药剂师用作药物信息来源时的效用，以及对其使用的态度。研究地点包括基于办公室的医疗实践、大学诊所家庭医学组和大学临床药学系。参与者在两个9个半月的时间段内可以使用其中任何一项计算机服务。所有搜索均自动记录并分析。65名参与者中的38人共进行了1112次搜索会话（药剂师占78%，护士占16%，医生占6%）。略少于三分之一的搜索找到了完全回答问题的信息。在检索到不完整信息的搜索中，约81%出现了错误。时间不足是限制服务使用的主要因素，不常使用的用户认为这些服务与他们的日常工作流程不太契合。
