Can an information prescription protocol be successfully integrated into a family medicine practice seeking to enhance patient education and self-management?
Milton Family Practice, an outpatient clinic and resident teaching site of the University of Vermont and Fletcher Allen Health Care, is located in a semirural area fifteen miles from main campus.
The objectives were to increase physicians' knowledge and use of information prescriptions, sustain integration of information prescription use, and increase physicians' ability to provide patient education information.
Methods used were promotion of the National Library of Medicine's Information Rx, physician instruction, installation of patient and provider workstations, and a collaborative approach to practice integration.
A post-intervention survey showed increased physician knowledge and use of the Information Rx protocol. Support procedures were integrated at the practice.
Sustainable integration of Information Rx in a primary care clinic requires not only promotion and education, but also attention to clinic organization and procedures.
信息处方协议能否成功整合到寻求增强患者教育和自我管理的家庭医疗实践中?
米尔顿家庭诊所是佛蒙特大学和弗莱彻艾伦医疗保健公司的一个门诊诊所和住院医生教学点,位于距离主校区十五英里的半农村地区。
目标是提高医生对信息处方的了解和使用,维持信息处方使用的整合,并提高医生提供患者教育信息的能力。
使用的方法是推广国家医学图书馆的信息 Rx,医生指导,安装患者和提供者工作站,以及采用协作方法进行实践整合。
干预后的调查显示,医生对信息 Rx 协议的了解和使用有所增加。支持程序已在实践中整合。
在初级保健诊所中可持续整合信息 Rx 不仅需要推广和教育,还需要关注诊所的组织和程序。
