title: Information and prescribing from the hospital doctors' viewpoint.
abstract: The requirements of a hospital doctor are viewed under the headings of 'active' and 'passive' information. The emphasis is placed on the practical value of information aimed at the prescribers, and the conclusion reached is that the information should be disease- rather than drug-orientated.
