Join the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) and The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) on Wednesday, July 21, 2010, from 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM Eastern Time for “Author in the Room,” an interactive conference call aimed at closing the gap between knowledge – what is published in an article - and action – how much of this knowledge is put into practice to improve care. This interactive call will help readers consider the implications of the study results for improving their practice.
It says space is limited, and this is obviously targeted for people who are actually directly involved in patient care rather than people out in the extended suburbs of health care like librarians, so I won't try to register and thus take up a space that someone who could better use the information might want.
It would be cool to get this sort of perspective on the biomedical literature, though. I can help people (mainly students) find stuff, so I have this abstract sense of how the broad information system works, but looking at how people actually use it, and how they might get more use out of it, is most interesting.
