Searching for medical information online: a survey of Canadian nephrologists.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Physicians often search for information to improve patient care. We evaluated how nephrologists use online information sources for this purpose.
METHODS: In this cross-sectional study (2008 to 2010), a random sample of Canadian nephrologists completed a survey of their online search practices. We queried respondents on their searching preferences, practices and use of 9 online information sources.
