What Do Primary Care Practitioners Want to Know? A Content Analysis of Questions Asked at the Point of Care
This study is a secondary analysis of the “Just‐in‐Time” (JIT) information librarian consultation service database of questions using quantitative content analysis methods. The original JIT project demonstrated the feasibility of a real‐time librarian service for answering questions asked by primary care clinicians at the point of care using a Web‐based platform or handheld device. Data were collected from 88 primary care practitioners in Ontario, Canada, from October 2005 to April 2006. Questions were answered in less than 15 minutes, enabling clinicians to use the answer during patient encounters. ResultsDesc...
