These POEMs are from InfoRetriever, part of the InfoPOEMs Clinical Awareness System, copyright InfoPOEM, Inc. The complete list of topics is available to InfoPOEMs subscribers at http://www.InfoPOEMs.com.
POEM stands for Patient-Oriented Evidence that Matters. POEMs meet three criteria: they address common questions that physicians face; they measure outcomes that physicians and patients care about (e.g., symptoms, morbidity, quality of life, and mortality); and they have the potential to change practice. See page 174 for expanded definition.
The POEMs section is coordinated by Mark H. Ebell, M.D., M.S., AFP's deputy editor for evidence-based medicine. Dr. Ebell is a founding member of InfoPOEM, Inc., an independent commercial entity.
"Tips from Other Journals" are written by the medical editors of American Family Physician.
