Rethinking of Medical Information Retrieval and Access

With the increased use of Internet, a large number of consumers first consult on line resources for their healthcare decisions. The problem of the existing information structure primarily lies in the fact that the vocabulary used in consumer queries is intrinsically different from the vocabulary represented in medical literature. Consequently, the medical information retrieval often provides poor search results. Since consumers make medical decisions based on the search results, building an effective information retrieval system becomes an essential issue. By reviewing the foundational concepts and application components of medical information retrieval, this paper will contribute to a body of research that seeks appropriate answers to a question like “How can we design a medical information retrieval system that can satisfy consumer’s information needs?”

Medical Information Retrieval

With the advent of the Internet era, traditional teaching forms, teaching methods and teaching concepts have undergone tremendous changes, and the teaching of medical information retrieval courses has also undergone good changes. This paper will explore the new teaching model of medical information retrieval under the Internet era from the teaching modes of PICOS, MOOC, SPOC, etc., in order to change the current status of poor classroom interaction and lack of high-quality teaching resources in college medical information retrieval courses, and improve the teaching quality of medical information retrieval courses and graduate students’ information literacy; and effectively change the traditional teaching evaluation system, give full play to the advantages of the network environment, and better innovate and rectify the teaching mode of medical information retrieval courses.
