Dear Sanguan,
Greetings from coastal Suffolk in East of England.
You might find the article from this week's Archives of Internal Medicine of
some relevance.
Stein PE, Hull RD, Ghali WA, Patel KC, Olson RE et al. Tracking the Uptake
of Evidence. Two Decades of Hospital Practice Trends for Diagnosing Deep
Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism. Arch Intern Med. 2003;163:1213-1219.
Link to abstract from:
http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/163/10/1213?etoc=1
The trail below from Hongkong presents the process of implementing EBM in a
group of hospitals.
Cheng GY. Educational workshop improved information-seeking skills,
knowledge, attitudes and the search outcome of hospital clinicians: a
randomised controlled trial. Health Info Libr J 2003 Jun;20 Suppl 1:22-33.
(provides some NNTs as well).
Hope the above are of some interest.
Cheers & regards,
Badri
