Academic and community-based family physician faculty must be adept at using technology as an information management tool and a vehicle for written communication. Today's family physicians must apply communication and technology skills in the traditional areas of research and education and in the ever-changing world of managed care, which in turn influences research and education. Written communication and computer competencies are interconnected by the need to collect, manage, and share information. While technology is changing the way family physicians practice, teach, and conduct research, the written word remains one of the most important means for communicating that information to others. This article summarizes the literature on competencies needed, methods used to prepare faculty, evidence of effectiveness of the methods, and recommendations for faculty development activities specific to communication of the written word, emphasizing information technology. We highlight gaps in that literature and offer a revised set of competencies for managing and communicating information in the context of a managed care environment.
学术型和社区型家庭医生教员必须善于将技术用作信息管理工具和书面交流手段。当今的家庭医生必须在传统的研究和教育领域以及不断变化的管理式医疗环境中应用沟通和技术技能，而管理式医疗环境又会反过来影响研究和教育。书面交流能力和计算机能力因收集、管理和共享信息的需求而相互关联。虽然技术正在改变家庭医生的执业、教学和研究方式，但书面文字仍然是向他人传达信息的最重要手段之一。本文总结了关于所需能力的文献、用于培训教员的方法、这些方法有效性的证据以及针对书面文字交流（强调信息技术）的教员发展活动的建议。我们突出了该文献中的差距，并提供了一套经过修订的能力要求，用于在管理式医疗环境中管理和交流信息。
