Design Review

There are many feasible tools for the assessment of clinical practice, but there is a wide consensus on the fact that the simultaneous use of several different methods could be strategic for a comprehensive overall judgment of clinical competence. Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are a well-established reliable method of assessing knowledge. Constructing effective MCQ tests and items requires scrupulous care in the design, review and validation stages. Creating high-quality multiple-choice questions requires a very deep experience, knowledge and large amount of time. Hereby, after reviewing their construction, strengths and limitations, we debate their completeness for the assessment of professional competence.

Medical Role

More and more health websites hire medical experts (physicians, medical students, experienced volunteers, etc.) and indicate explicitly their medical role in order to notify that they provide high-quality answers. However, medical experts may participate in forum discussions even when their role is not officially indicated. Detecting posts written by medical experts facilitates the quick access to posts that have more chances of being correct and informative. The main objective of this work is to learn classification models that can be used to detect posts written by medical experts in any health forum discussions. Two French health forums have been used to discover the best features and methods for this text categorization task. The obtained results confirm that models learned on appropriate websites may be used efficiently on other websites (more than 98% of F1-measure has been obtained using a Random Forest classifier). A study of misclassified posts highlights the participation of medical experts in forum discussions even if their role is not explicitly indicated.

Quality Article

Why do some articles become building blocks for future scholars, whereas others remain unnoticed? The authors aim to answer this question by contrasting, synthesizing, and simultaneously testing three scientometric perspectives—universalism, social constructivism, and presentation—on the influence of article and author characteristics on article citations. They study all articles published in a sample of five major journals in marketing from 1990 to 2002 that are central to the discipline. They count the number of citations each of these articles has received and regress this count on an extensive set of characteristics of the article (i.e., article quality, article domain, title length, the use of attention grabbers, and expositional clarity) and the author (i.e., author visibility and author personal promotion). They find that the number of citations an article in the marketing discipline receives depends more on “what is said” (quality and domain) and “who says it” (author visibility and personal promotion) than on “how it is said” (title length, the use of attention grabbers, and expositional clarity). The insights gleaned from this analysis contribute to the marketing literature and are relevant to scientific stakeholders, such as the management of scientific journals and individual academic scholars, as they strive to maximize citations. They are also relevant to marketing practitioners; they inform practitioners on characteristics of the academic journals in marketing and their relevance to decisions they face. Conversely, the insights also raise challenges regarding how to make journals accessible and relevant to marketing practitioners: (1) Authors visible to academics are not necessarily visible to practitioners; (2) the readability of an article may hurt academic credibility and impact, but it may be instrumental in influencing practitioners; and (3) it remains questionable whether articles that academics assess to be of high quality are also managerially relevant.

Background: Collaboration between cardiologists and internists is essential to providing safe, effective, and patient-centered cardiovascular care. The objective of this study was to determine the quality of collaboration between these clinicians during inpatient consultations and identify areas for improvement. Methods: We surveyed hospitalists, general internal medicine faculty, and resident physicians from inpatient general medicine services and consulting cardiology attendings and fellows at a large tertiary care hospital over a two month period. Respondents were asked to rate each other’s level of collaboration on a 5-point ordinal response scale and answer multiple choice and free-response questions on consultation practices and personal preferences. Results: Overall, 92 of 155 (59%) eligible hospitalists, general internal medicine faculty, and resident physicians completed the primary survey. Collaboration with cardiology consultants was rated as high or very high quality by 72% of respondents. There was no significant difference between ratings of collaboration quality based on respondents’ level of training. Internists identified resistance or disagreement with indication for consultation, difficulty receiving a timely response, and poor follow-up communication as the largest barriers to high quality collaboration. Most internists preferred receiving recommendations by page, phone, or written in a consult note, rather than in person. Internists appreciated close communication throughout the consultation process. For longitudinal consultations, internists preferred when an intention to sign-off was communicated by page or wrote in that day’s consult note. In total, 9 cardiology attendings and fellows completed the specialty survey. Cardiologists reported providing recommendations the same day for routine consultations, or within 2-3 hours when urgent. Most consultants communicated their recommendations thru page, phone conversations, or written consult note. Providing recommendations in person was rare. Half of cardiology attendings and fellows rated collaboration with internists as high or very high quality. There was no significant difference between their ratings of collaboration with hospitalists and residents. Cardiologists appreciated when outside hospital records had already been obtained. They identified receiving an unclear reason for consult, consulting prior to initial work-up, late in the day, or when an outpatient appointment was more appropriate as the largest barriers to high quality collaboration. Conclusions: While cardiologists and internists appear to agree on modes of communication, they have different perceptions of timeliness and disagreements on appropriateness of consultations. Further research is needed to design and study interventions that address these barriers to high quality collaboration.

Acute Medical Care

Acute Internal Medicine (AIM) may be the ‘new kid on the block’ as a medical specialty but it lies at the heart of our health service. Recognition of the importance of early senior review in managing medical patients admitted to hospital in an emergency has led to a dramatic expansion in the number of consultant posts being created in acute medical units across the UK. This has been matched by a similar rise in the number of higher speciality training positions, with over 100 posts being advertised every year. Although the majority of these posts have been filled, this expansion, combined with a relative lack of awareness of the speciality, has meant that vacancies remain in many Deaneries. This needs to be addressed in order for the speciality to continue to expand, and deliver high quality, consultant-led acute medical care in every hospital in the UK.
