The Anesthesiology Discussion Group (ADG) email list is a valuable telemedicine tool for anesthesia providers seeking clinical information and second opinions. Practitioners find it effective for information-seeking and are satisfied with the quality of responses.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Medical Informatics
  • Telemedicine

Background:

  • The Anesthesiology Discussion Group (ADG) is an international email list for anesthesia providers.
  • It facilitates informal, information-seeking behaviors similar to those in clinical settings.
  • Previous studies identified ADG as a cost-effective form of telemedicine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey practitioners who submitted clinical questions to ADG.
  • To assess ADG's value as an information-seeking resource.
  • To evaluate ADG's clinical effectiveness as a telemedicine tool.

Main Methods:

  • Survey of anesthesia providers who used ADG for clinical questions.
  • Analysis of questionnaire results regarding information-seeking and telemedicine effectiveness.

  • Evaluation of user satisfaction and perceived value of ADG.

    • Main Results:

    • ADG is a valuable resource for clinical information-seeking among anesthesia providers.
    • Many users utilize ADG to obtain second opinions from collective expertise.
    • Respondents reported satisfaction with response quality and intent to reuse ADG.

    Conclusions:

    • ADG serves as a clinically effective telemedicine resource for anesthesia providers.
    • The platform supports valuable information-seeking and facilitates peer-to-peer consultation.
    • User satisfaction indicates ADG's ongoing utility in clinical practice.
