PILOT SITE STUDY OF A JOURNAL ARTICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

医生们面临着医学信息过载的问题。数字 医学期刊，这是大多数人首选的信息来源 在过去的一个世纪里，医生的数量呈指数级增长。尽管如此 数量的增加，没有商业上可用的信息 期刊论文管理系统。 NIS开发了一个管理系统，该系统由一个指标系统、一个 备案系统，以及对最近出版的杂志的持续订阅服务 内科八大期刊的编码重印。这个 Service为医生创建了个人参考库，其中包括 文章按主题排列。然后可以检索相关文章 当医生需要阅读关于患者的 有问题。 NIS主系统原型尚未进行现场测试。我们提出了一个 六个试点的阶段可行性研究，包括内科 农村和城市地区的住院医师计划和繁忙的医生执业。 具体目标是确定该系统是否可以用作“独立”系统 在无法获得计算机技术的实际地点，或作为桥梁 在可访问电子书目的网站上进行MEDLINE搜索 系统(感恩医疗)。我们还计划研究信息的获取和 医生在不同执业地点的使用行为。

Physicians are faced with an overload of medical information. The number of medical journals, which are the preferred source of information for most physicians, has grown exponentially over the past century. Despite this increase in volume, there is no commercially available information management system for journal articles. NIS has developed a management system that consists of an index system, a filing system, and an on-going subscription service to recently published, coded reprints from the eight major journals in internal medicine. The service creates a personal reference library for the physician, with articles arranged by topic. Relevant articles can then be retrieved quickly and easily when the physician needs to read about a patients's problem. The Prototype NIS Master System has not been field-tested. We propose a Phase feasibility study at six pilot sites, comprised of internal medicine residency programs and busy physician practices in rural and urban areas. Specific aims are to determine if the system may be used as a "stand-alone" in practice locations without access to computer technology, or as a bridge to MEDLINE searches at sites with access to electronic bibliographic systems (Grateful Med). We also plan to study the information access and usage behavior of physicians in a variety of practice locations.
