Many clinicians feel like they are drowning in information. Hospitalists must balance the need to find relevant and accurate answers to their clinical questions with the need for efficiency in finding those answers to immediately guide high-quality care to multiple acutely ill patients. Formulating and answering questions efficiently and effectively will improve care and reduce the rates of consultation, testing, and potential errors.
