Rural providers' access to online resources: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract

Participants in the DynaMed arm of the study used this clinically oriented PoC more heavily than the users of the textbook-based AccessMedicine. In terms of user satisfaction, DynaMed users reported higher levels of satisfaction than the users of AccessMedicine.

“…Similarly, our field does acknowledge that Google and Google Scholar are not going away. Depending on the setting, Google Scholar could be the go-to information source for a busy health care provider or a student on rotation [5][6] . As publishers and authors, it is important to keep up with trends, especially when it comes to adjusting our requirements for citations, the data availability statement, and use of AI within submissions 7 .…”

Research Roadmap: Understanding the Research Process (Part 1)

“…The three medical students expressed their creativity by producing a top-notch training video for participants in the study. In other ways, the students also added elements of creativity unrecognized by the veteran researchers and thereby improved project participation among providers [18].…”

Integrating research into practice

“…They further play key roles in creating systematic reviews that synthesize the best research evidence [53][54][55][56][57]. In recent years, health sciences librarians have been involved in the development and performance evaluations of point-of-care resources at patients' bedsides [58][59][60][61]. Health sciences librarians manage the sources of the research evidence in their electronic collections that are used both for training health professions students in EBP and that are integrated into EBP by health professions.…”
