The body of knowledge in medicine is growing at a phenomenal pace. Clinicians rely on many sources of medical information--journal articles and reviews, textbooks, colleagues, continuing medical education conferences, videotapes and audiotapes, and pharmaceutical representatives--although they probably have had little formal training in assessing the clinical usefulness of the information obtained from each source. Excellent reader guides on how to evaluate clinical trials and review articles have been published, but these techniques are time-consuming and are rarely employed by busy clinicians. In this paper, we present a "user-friendly" method of managing new information in a practical and time-efficient manner. This approach allows clinicians to disregard most of the available medical information and focus on patient-oriented evidence that truly matters.
医学知识体系正以惊人的速度增长。临床医生依赖多种医学信息来源——期刊文章与综述、教科书、同事、继续医学教育会议、录像带和录音带以及医药代表——尽管他们可能几乎没有接受过正式培训来评估从每个来源获取的信息的临床实用性。关于如何评估临床试验和综述文章的优秀阅读指南已经出版，但这些方法耗时且忙碌的临床医生很少采用。在本文中，我们提出一种“用户友好型”方法，以实用且高效的方式管理新信息。这种方法使临床医生能够忽略大部分现有的医学信息，而专注于真正重要的以患者为导向的证据。
