Traditional continuing medical education-general reading, attending courses and conferences and having discussions with colleagues-helps physicians review fundamental concepts and learn new developments in medicine. This type of continuing education is well established and will not change dramatically. Beyond this, physicians learn from specific problems that arise in practice. A computer can enhance practice-related continuing medical education by providing information when a physician is developing diagnostic and therapeutic plans. Computer mail and telephone voice mail improve communication among physicians. Computers, by storing practice data, enable physicians to study their practices and profit from experience. Hospitals, specialty societies and medical schools should investigate using computers to help physicians profit maximally from experience.
传统的继续医学教育——一般阅读、参加课程和会议以及与同事进行讨论——有助于医生复习基本概念并了解医学的新进展。这种继续医学教育形式已确立良久,不会发生巨大变化。除此之外,医生还能从实践中出现的具体问题中学习。计算机可以在医生制定诊断和治疗方案时提供信息,从而加强与实践相关的继续医学教育。计算机邮件和电话语音邮件改善了医生之间的沟通。计算机通过存储实践数据,使医生能够研究自己的诊疗行为并从经验中获益。医院、专业学会和医学院校应该研究如何利用计算机帮助医生从经验中实现最大获益。
