医生在实践中使用的信息来源的差异对提供的护理质量和医疗信息的传播有几个影响。为了研究初级保健环境中信息偏好的差异程度，98名普通内科医生和73名家庭医生被要求指出他们在面临困难的医疗问题时最依赖的六种替代信息来源。期刊、教科书、与同事的非正式磋商、与社区专家的磋商、与外部专家的磋商，结果表明，主要是内科医生有一个更大的偏好咨询医学文献，而家庭医生更经常依赖于同事和专家的信息来源。这些差异表明，通过期刊或教科书的信息传播的重点可能是更有效的内科医生，而同事或“有教育影响力”的医生在社区可能是更有效的车辆信息传播给家庭医生。
Differences in the sources of information that physicians utilize in their practice have several implications for the quality of care delivered and the dissemination of medical information. In order to examine the extent of differences in information preferences in primary care settings, 98 general internal medicine physicians and 73 family physicians were asked to indicate which of six alternative information sources they relied on most when faced with difficult medical problems The alternatives were: journals, textbooks, informal consultations with colleagues, consultations with community specialists, consultations with outside specialists, and transfer of the patient to another physician The results indicated that primary are internists have a greater preference for consulting the medical literature, while family physicians more often rely on colleagues and specialists as sources of information. These differences suggest that the focus of information dissemination through journals or textbook may be more effective for internists, while colleagues or “educationally influential” physicians in the community may be more effective vehicles for information dissemination to family physicians.
