Abstract

“What's his infection sensitive to?” In 1995, getting the answer to this question required a house officer to find an unoccupied computer at the nursing station, sign on, and traverse the necessary screens to get the culture result. Armed with the answer — say, “levofloxacin” — she would ask the follow-up question: “What's the renal dosing?” The next step would typically entail a search for a tattered copy of a drug reference manual.In 2000, the house officer still needed to turn to the computer for the first answer, but for the second, she might have skipped the scavenger hunt . . .
