Changing decision-making behaviour in general practice by providing access to online evidence.

转向循证实践的案例，以及这种转变带来的巨大经济和健康成果效益，已经被反复提出。尽管有这样的愿景，但循证实践仍然存在重大障碍，在线系统的积极作用的展示将导致临床医生行为改变策略的重大变化。这项研究将通过严格和受控的方法研究临床行为变化，为我们理解在线证据检索系统作为任何循证策略的组成部分的功效和有效性做出具体和重大的贡献。它还将有力地检验搜索过滤器作为支持证据检索的一项具体技术的价值。作为一项结果指标，对NHMRC优先领域处方模式的关注也将提供反映初级保健当前实践的重要数据集。

The case for a shift to evidence-based practice, and the substantial economic and health outcome benefits of that shift, have been repeatedly made. Despite the vision, significant barriers to evidence-based practice remain, and the demonstration of a positive role for on-line systems would result in a significant change in strategies for clinician behaviour change. This study will make a specific and significant contribution to our understanding of the efficacy and effectiveness of online evidence retrieval systems as a component in any evidence-based strategy, through a rigorous and controlled approach to the study of clinical behaviour change. It will also provide a powerful test of the value of search filters as a specific technology in support of evidence retrieval. The focus on prescribing patterns in NHMRC priority areas as an outcome measure will also provide a significant data set reflecting current practice in primary care.
