Abstract

PURPOSE: In this era of rapidly evolving clinical knowledge, clinicians need to be aware of current research and how it might affect their practice. The Internet is a widely available, under-assessed tool for providing this information. In this two-phase pilot study, a novel Web site (www.cansortsurgeons.org) was developed to specifically disseminate relevant clinical information to community breast oncology surgeons.

METHODS: The first phase targeted a sample of community surgeons identified from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results catchment areas in Los Angeles, CA and Detroit, MI. The second phase broadened availability by linking the site through the American College of Surgeons (ACoS) Commission on Cancer (CoC) homepage. An eight-question, Web-based survey was used to obtain feedback regarding the Web site's utility and potential application to clinical practice. Journal continuing medical education credit was also offered through ACoS.

RESULTS: For phase 1, of the 315 community surgeons invited to view the site, 114 (36%) participated in the study and 98 (86%) responded to the survey. Overall, there was a strongly supportive response, with 79 (81%) recommending the site to other clinicians. For phase 2, of the 516 site hits, 411 came from the ACoS site. Only 10 individuals completed the survey during this phase, but all positively endorsed the utility of the site.

CONCLUSION: The implication for clinical practice is that the Internet is a useful tool for providing relevant clinical research to providers. In the future, this could be tailored to an individual's needs, aiding synthesis and, hopefully, improving the quality of clinical care.
