Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Information mastery requires a shift in how we view ourselves. Every clinician today was trained in an era when we were valued for how much we know- the more information stored in our brains, whether it is from our own experience or from what we have read or heard, the better we are as a clinician. The amount of information available and necessary to have to practice the best medicine is increasing at a rate so fast than no one can possibly remember it all. Computers, however, can store information and never forget it. The job of clinicians in the future/present is to realize their value as “thinkers” instead of “knowers”. Descartes had it right a long time ago: “I think, therefore I am”. He didn’t say, “I know a lot, therefore I am.” We must learn to use computers as our ultimate source of knowledge and use our own brains as a source of creating wisdom: using the best knowledge in an individual circumstance to result in the optimal outcome. This is also why “evidence-based medicine” is often threatening, particularly to older clinicians who enjoy the “power” attributed to them because of their superior body of information they possess. In order to survive in the information age, every clinician, regardless of their health care discipline, will need: 1) a tool for hunting for relevant and valid information at the point-of-care, and, 2) A system that forages through new information as it becomes available and assembles the valid and relevant information in an easy to understand form. For more information about this idea, see: Thompson ML. Characteristics of information resources preferred by primary care physicians. Bull Med Libr Assoc 1997;85:187-192.

Every clinician today was trained in an era when we were valued for how much we know- the more information stored in our brains, whether it is from our own experience or from what we have read or heard, the better we are as a clinician. The amount of information available and necessary to have to practice the best medicine is increasing at a rate so fast than no one can possibly remember it all. Computers, however, can store information and never forget it. The job of clinicians in the future/present is to realize their value as “thinkers” instead of “knowers”. Descartes had it right a long time ago: “I think, therefore I am”. He didn’t say, “I know a lot, therefore I am.” We must learn to use computers as our ultimate source of knowledge and use our own brains as a source of creating wisdom: using the best knowledge in an individual circumstance to result in the optimal outcome. This is also why “evidence-based medicine” is often threatening, particularly to older clinicians who enjoy the “power” attributed to them because of their superior body of information they possess. In order to survive in the information age, every clinician, regardless of their health care discipline, will need: 1) a tool for hunting for relevant and valid information at the point-of-care, and, 2) A system that forages through new information as it becomes available and assembles the valid and relevant information in an easy to understand form.

He didn’t say, “I know a lot, therefore I am.” We must learn to use computers as our ultimate source of knowledge and use our own brains as a source of creating wisdom: using the best knowledge in an individual circumstance to result in the optimal outcome. This is also why “evidence-based medicine” is often threatening, particularly to older clinicians who enjoy the “power” attributed to them because of their superior body of information they possess. In order to survive in the information age, every clinician, regardless of their health care discipline, will need: 1) a tool for hunting for relevant and valid information at the point-of-care, and, 2) A system that forages through new information as it becomes available and assembles the valid and relevant information in an easy to understand form.

  24. Information mastery requires a shift in how we view ourselves. Every clinician today was trained in an era when we were valued for how much we know- the more information stored in our brains, whether it is from our own experience or from what we have read or heard, the better we are as a clinician. The amount of information available and necessary to have to practice the best medicine is increasing at a rate so fast than no one can possibly remember it all. Computers, however, can store information and never forget it. The job of clinicians in the future/present is to realize their value as “thinkers” instead of “knowers”. Descartes had it right a long time ago: “I think, therefore I am”.
