摘要
目的:尽管临床信息学(CI)在外科实践中日益突出,但普外科住院医生在这一领域接受的正规培训有限。我们旨在通过评估普外科住院医师在CI方面的知识、认知和经验来定义关键的教育机会。设计调查研究评估居民人口统计,先前的信息学经验,CI在外科实践关键领域的重要性的感知,以及对信息学教育主题的兴趣。7所学术机构开展普外科培训项目。参与者:所有研究生培训水平的普外科住院医师,共146/406(36%)参与者。结果居民表示对CI缺乏熟悉,(64%)的人自我描述为“有意识但没有经验”。很少有住院医生报告有信息学经验(26%)或医学院培训(16%)。居民们表达了对信息学教育的兴趣,特别是在电子健康档案(EHR)工作流程优化、人工智能和电子健康档案利用方面的研究。信息学熟悉度与CI的感知重要性适度相关(Pearson’s r = 0.35)。结论普外科住院医师认识到CI在外科实践中的重要性,但缺乏这方面的培训和经验,突出了未来的教育机会。这些发现强调了结构化CI培训的必要性,以使外科医生为不断发展的医疗技术世界做好准备。
Defining the Clinical Informatics Knowledge Gap in General Surgery: Evaluation of Resident Experience and Perspectives
OBJECTIVE
Despite the growing prominence of clinical informatics (CI) in surgical practice, general surgery residents receive limited formal training in this field. We aimed to define key educational opportunities by assessing general surgery resident knowledge, perceptions, and experience in CI.
DESIGN
Survey study assessing resident demographics, prior informatics experience, perception of CI’s importance in key areas of surgical practice, and interest in informatics education topics.
SETTING
General surgery training programs at 7 academic institutions.
PARTICIPANTS
General surgery residents in all postgraduate training levels, with a total of 146/406 (36%) participants.
RESULTS
Residents expressed lack of familiarity with CI, with (64%) self-describing as “aware but inexperienced”. Few residents reported prior informatics experience (26%) or medical school training (16%). Residents expressed interest in informatics education, particularly in electronic health record (EHR) workflow optimization, artificial intelligence, and EHR utilization for research. Informatics familiarity moderately correlated with perceived importance of CI (Pearson’s r = 0.35).
CONCLUSIONS
General surgery residents recognize the importance of CI in surgical practice but lack training and experience in this field, highlighting future educational opportunities. These findings underscore the necessity of structured CI training to prepare surgeons for the evolving world of healthcare technology.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Surgical Education (JSE) is dedicated to advancing the field of surgical education through original research. The journal publishes research articles in all surgical disciplines on topics relative to the education of surgical students, residents, and fellows, as well as practicing surgeons. Our readers look to JSE for timely, innovative research findings from the international surgical education community. As the official journal of the Association of Program Directors in Surgery (APDS), JSE publishes the proceedings of the annual APDS meeting held during Surgery Education Week.
