Automated infobuttons link clinical information systems (CIS) to web resources. Six general methods were identified to answer clinician information needs, simplifying access to external data.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Health Information Systems
  • Web-based Resource Integration

Background:

  • Investigating automated, context-specific links (infobuttons) between Clinical Information Systems (CIS) and World Wide Web resources.
  • Observing clinician information needs during CIS use and classifying them into generic questions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify general methods for accessing external information resources to answer clinician-generated questions.
  • To characterize these methods into general approaches for information retrieval.

Main Methods:

  • Classifying clinician information needs into generic questions.
  • Identifying relevant external resources for each question type.
  • Developing and characterizing methods for retrieving information from these resources.

Main Results:

  • Identified six general approaches for accessing web-based information.
  • These approaches vary in complexity, from simple hard-coded links to sophisticated intelligent agents and calculators.
  • Detailed descriptions of each of the six identified approaches are provided.

Conclusions:

  • A limited set of methods can effectively exploit web-based information resources for clinical decision support.
  • While specific implementations require customization, standardized methods for accessing web resources would streamline CIS integration.
  • Developing standard methods can simplify the task of creating infobuttons for CIS.
