Information seeking in the NICU: resident and faculty perspectives.
Little is know about how physicians utilize sources of patient information in complex medical environments such as the NICU. We conducted a qualitative study to investigate what sources of patient information physicians prefer to use in this setting. Results reveal a preference for physicians to use conversations with colleagues and the bedside flowsheet the majority of the time. Notes written by physicians - especially resident physicians - were used less frequently
