ORIGINAL ARTICLES
Jessica E. Gosnell, MD William O. Robertson, MD A b s t r a c t To take advantage of the medical practitioner’s "teachable moment" for continuing medical education (CME) we accompanied "discharge summaries" with selected clinical abstracts focusing on the patient’s individual discharge diagnosis. A mail survey of 253 recipients brought a 45% return strongly supportive of such efforts for the future. We conclude that, for minimal costs, the technique holds promise as a CME method on the one hand, and as a potential marketing tool for the institution and its medical staff on the other. We are planning to attempt to quantify clinical behavior changes - if any - among the recipients. Keywords: Clinical Abstracts; Continuing Medical Education; Discharge Summaries; Physician Satisfaction |
