- Title
Better information systems are needed to help patients and clinicians integrate clinical research within everyday clinical practice
- Authors

- Abstract
Personal experience of severe otitis externa led me to search for evidence about the best management of earwax. Because systematic reviews made clear that there is substantial uncertainty about management, I looked for information about relevant, well-designed controlled trials in which I might be able to participate as a patient. My experiences illustrate why I believe better information systems are needed if clinical research is to become integrated in everyday clinical practice, for the benefit of both patients and clinicians.
