Product Description

Experienced doctors differ from inexperienced doctors primarily in the amount and kind of knowledge they possess and their skills in applying it. In the commercial sector, professional knowledge is valued as a means of improving the quality and efficiency of services. Despite widespread uptake of evidence-based health, medicine still has a long way to go to match the care and resources spent on managing knowledge in other sectors. Clinicians are bombarded with information from many different sources but are they making the best use of this rapidly expanding body of knowledge? This book helps clinicians to improve their "knowledge management activities and those of their organizations, whether in keeping up with the published work, selecting, writing and using guidelines and computer packages, or getting the most out of the Internet.
