The document discusses how clinical knowledge decreases over time without continued learning. It promotes UpToDate as an effective resource for physicians to use to increase their medical knowledge, retain information better, and improve patient care and performance on certification exams. Studies have shown that UpToDate helps physicians more than lectures alone and that the majority of physicians find it useful for answering clinical questions and changing patient care.

Health Literacy Through Testing aims to improve health literacy and the patient-doctor relationship through testing of health literacy in the waiting room. The test will provide a snapshot of a patient's problem areas to improve education and compliance, as well as provide invaluable data regarding health literacy.
Investigation of Subcategories According to the Level of Job Stress in Medica...JhayzJocson
Healthcare workers in hospitals are exposed to high levels of occupational stress resulting from heavy workload, extended working hours and high levels of time pressure.
Course 2 the need for a careful and thorough historyNelson Hendler
The medical literature reports that 40%-80% of chronic pain patients are misdiagnosed. Clearly, misdiagnosis leads to ordering the wrong tests, and thereby obtaining an incorrect diagnosis, or overlooking a diagnosis totally, which results in mistreatment. Many reports in the medical literature indicate the best way to get an accurate diagnosis, is to obtain a complete and thorough history. However, this is a time consuming process, and most physicians don’t spend the needed time with a patient. Therefore, a team of doctors from Johns Hopkins Hospital developed a 72 question test, with 2008 possible answers, available over the Internet. When a patient completes the questionnaire, diagnoses are returned within 5 minutes. These diagnoses have a 96% correlation with diagnoses of Johns Hopkins Hospital doctors. This is the highest level of accuracy of any expert system available. The efficacy of this approach is proven by outcome studies, which prove that this approach results in a far higher return to work rate and reduced use of medication and doctors visits, when compared to other techniques. This is similar to the techniques used by Johns Hopkins Hospital to reduce their workers compensation payments by 54%.

Rob Reid: Redesigning primary care: the Group Health journeyThe King's Fund
Rob Reid, Senior Investigator at Group Health Research Institute, explains the journey taken by Group Health in support of integrated primary care. A case study in how primary care can be delivered effectively and efficiently to a population, Rob laid out the challenges facing general practice in the States, and how Group Health worked to improve the situation for both patients and the workforce.
The Role of Physician Specialty Board Certification Status in the Quality Mov...abimorg
Jama article- QUALITY OF CARE Continues
to dominate the health
policy agenda. Originally
engendered by the now
multiple reports of the Institute of Medicine
(IOM) on quality of care,1 in particular
on patient safety,2 and given new
impetus by ongoing reports concerning
the variable effectiveness of care
provided by hospitals and physicians,
3,4 the quality movement has expanding
momentum. Perhaps most important,
high-quality medical care has
become a significant objective for US
business, as motivated employers make
the point that value purchasing should
be as much a rule for medical care as it
is for other areas of industry.
