Doctors Pierre Pluye and Roland Grad, internationally recognized
experts in the fields of knowledge translation and health
information studies, along with bestselling author and journalist
Julie Barlow, take readers behind the scenes to show how online
information is affecting self-care and primary health care in
medicine, nursing, and pharmacy. Based on fifteen years of in-depth
interviews and research, Look It Up! provides essential tips for
patients and clinicians to administer and receive the best possible
primary health care, while avoiding the perils of unguided
self-diagnosis. This book shows how, by dint of an inquiring mind
and a smartphone, rapid and accurate acquisition of knowledge keeps
primary care clinicians up to date. It also shows how people can
determine whether a test is more beneficial than harmful, and how
information helps resolve disagreements and improve collaboration
with patients and families, and among doctors, pharmacists, and
nurses. In the age of easily accessible online information,
clinicians have to think differently about how they work. Organized
around numerous real clinical stories, Look It Up! is an
illuminating and lively guide to improving patient care.
