Exciting New Resource

2010-11-09T08:59:00.000-08:00

Find the Answers - videos on time - saving tools for medical questions

A series of YouTube videos on finding clinical information using library search tools has just been created by the University of Toronto, Gerstein Library. These short videos, ranging in length from 3 to 10 minutes, are informative and easy to understand. Although they are directed toward medical students, any health professional, resident or faculty will find these useful.

* Need an answer to a specific clinical problem?
"Find the Answers to PBL Scenarios", a 5-part series, provides information on searching specialized search tools such as PubMed Clinical Queries and distilled or point-of-care resources that are evidence-based.

* Need to do a comprehensive search?
"Find the Answers to Research Questions" provides an organized and systematic approach to doing a comprehensive search.

Other videos include Uploading Citations to RefWorks, Find Articles from Web of Science, and Finding Fulltext Articles from a Citation.

To easily find all 18 videos, go to the YouTube website - www.youtube.com. Enter "gerstein library find the asnwers" in the search box. After clicking on "Find the answers" in the results, note the link to "gersteinlibrary 18 videos".

September 12, 2009 10:00 AM - CBC Radio One

"This week on the season launch of White Coat, Black Art:

A trainee doctor in Canada is expected to work between 70 and 90 hours a week -- week after week, year after year. And while they're doing that, they're taking care of you and your loved ones. In the US and European Union they've limited the hours residents can work, to help protect patients from serious medical errors, but not yet in Canada.

In this Saturday's (12 September) edition of White Coat, Black Art, Dr. Brian Goldman talks to residents about their chronic overwork and sleep deprivation and the impact it has on patient care.

Tune in on Saturday morning at 10 am (10:30 in Newfoundland) on CBC Radio One. "

Some findings:

"Access to family doctors hasn’t improved since 2006 – 7.4 percent of adults in Ontario don’t have a family doctor and about half that number, or 400,000 people, are looking for a doctor, but can’t find one.

The large majority of patients who need cardiac procedures are today treated within the target time.

Half of patients needing cancer surgery (categorized as Priority 2) are not getting their surgery within the medically acceptable two-week timeframe. Some are waiting twice as long.

Waits for places in long-term care homes have doubled in the last two years, from 49 days to 106 days."

Summary
PDF

"Why a renewal of primary health care (PHC), and why now, more than ever? Globalization is putting the social cohesion of many countries under stress, and health systems are clearly not performing as well as they could and should. People are increasingly impatient with the inability of health services to deliver. Few would disagree that health systems need to respond better – and faster – to the challenges of a changing world. PHC can do that.

In this report, WHO proposes that countries make health system and health development decisions guided by four broad policy directions. These four represent core primary health care principles:

1) Universal coverage
2) People-centred services
3) Healthy public policies
4) Leadership

With these four primary health care goals, national health systems can become more coherent, efficient, fair and vastly more effective."

Smartphones in Medical Practice - which one to choose?

In the following article, authors emphasize the pros and cons of mobile technology and its operating systems in order to inform physicians of the choices before they decide to purchase any. Specifically, here the article reviews "6 currently available platforms that make up the smartphone devices".

AbstractMobile technology has the potential to revolutionize how physicians practice medicine. From having access to the latest medical research at the point of care to being able to communicate at a moment's notice with physicians and colleagues around the world, we are practicing medicine in a technological age. During recent years, many physicians have been simultaneously using a pager, cellular telephone, and personal digital assistant (PDA) to keep in communication with the hospital and to access medical information or calendar functions. Many physicians have begun replacing multiple devices with a "smartphone," which functions as a cellular telephone, pager, and PDA. The goal of this article is to provide an overview of the currently available platforms that make up the smartphone devices and the available medical software. Each platform has its unique advantages and disadvantages, and available software will vary by device and is in constant flux.

How Physicians Learn

2008-06-19T07:52:00.000-07:00

The Continuing education in the health professions: improving healthcare through lifelong learning report was published in need to focus on continuing education, its developments, financing, and designing effective systems to keep learning in the medical field. The monograph is available free and can be reproduced without permission.

The following are "stages of self-directed learning and principles for facilitating physician learning in formal continuing medical education" as pointed out by Moore in his chapter from the above publication. The author also draws attention to how medical professionals should address their continuing learning and as a result presents several principles to effective CME learning . Finally, he assesses effective CME activities.

Moore, DE. How physicians learn and how to design learning experiences for them: an approach based on an interpretive review of evidence.
In : Hager M, Russell S, Fletcher SW, editors. Continuing education in the health professions: improving healthcare through lifelong learning. Bermuda, New York: Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation; 2008. p. 30-62

Stages of learning
1. Recognizing an opportunity for learning
2. Searching for resources for learning
3. Engaging in learning
4. Trying out what was learned
5. Incorporating what was learned

Principles for effective learning in Continuing Medical Education
1. Planners of formal CME should consider physicians' stages of learning
2. Formal CME should focus on clinical problems
3. Formal CME activities should be organized to provide opportunities to obtain knowledge and develop skills
4. Formal CME activities should provide opportunities for learning
5. Effective CME activities are more likely to consist of multiple educational activities that are organized according to a plan
6. Learning is enhanced if content is organized in small units

Refreshing How-To's of Time Management

Randy Pausch on Time Management - lecture delivered in Nov. 2007

"More than 6 million people have viewed Carnegie Mellon computer science professor Randy Pausch's "How to Achieve Your Childhood Dreams" on YouTube . In his lecture, the terminally-ill 47-year old Carnegie Mellon professor provides realistic advice on how you can live your life so that you can make your childhood dreams come true. Equally compelling is Pausch's lecture on "Time Management" -- an entertaining, empowering, and poignant "how-to" that distills the best of Covey, Allen and others into a plan that anyone can follow."

Evidence-based Algorithm to Make EBM Search Method Easier

Kendal, Sandra. Evidence-based resources simplified. Can Fam Physician Vol. 54, No. 2, Feb 2008, pp.241 - 243 . http://www.cfp.ca/cgi/content/full/54/2/241

The algorithm or EBM decision tool described helps clinicians find and choose the best resources to answer clinical questions. Resources are categorized into 4 "tiers" or levels of evidence with Tier 1 listing the resources with the highest level of filtered evidence such as BMJ Clinical Evidence and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Tiers 2 and 3 list resources in descending order of filtered evidence with Tier 4 listing unfiltered resources such as Medline and Embase. This EBM algorithm helps to make sense of the various tools and resources and reduces search time for both the student and the clinician.
