The authors performed a baseline analysis of the information needs and information-seeking behaviors of on-call radiology residents to learn how to better serve their on-call information needs in the future.
Print, electronic, and human information resources were made conveniently available to on-call radiology residents. A prospective, descriptive study was performed by using a modification of the critical incident technique to gather data from the residents every morning after being on call. Residents were asked to recall questions that arose, whether they sought answers to the questions, where they searched for answers, whether their search was successful, and whether they believed that patient care was affected.
The residents had 182 questions that encompassed all organ systems, imaging modalities, and aspects of radiologic practice. Residents sought answers to 138 of the 182 questions (76%) by using a wide variety of resources, with staff members and textbooks being the most common. They found answers to 114 of 138 questions (83%); 100 of the 114 (88%) answered questions affected patient care.
The ideal way to meet the information needs of on-call radiology residents is to devise an authoritative information resource that is compatible with their information-seeking behaviors.
作者对值班放射科住院医师的信息需求和信息获取行为进行了基线分析，以了解如何在未来更好地满足他们的值班信息需求。
为值班放射科住院医师方便地提供了印刷、电子和人力信息资源。采用对关键事件技术的一种改进方法进行前瞻性描述性研究，以便在值班后的每天早晨从住院医师那里收集数据。要求住院医师回忆出现的问题、他们是否寻求问题的答案、他们在哪里搜索答案、他们的搜索是否成功以及他们是否认为患者护理受到了影响。
住院医师有182个问题，涵盖了所有器官系统、成像方式和放射学实践的各个方面。住院医师通过使用各种各样的资源，对182个问题中的138个（76%）寻求了答案，其中工作人员和教科书是最常用的。他们找到了138个问题中114个（83%）的答案；114个问题中的100个（88%）得到解答的问题影响了患者护理。
满足值班放射科住院医师信息需求的理想方法是设计一种与他们的信息获取行为相匹配且具有权威性的信息资源。
