English abstract
The Italian Ministry of Health launched in 2001 a national program to support “independent information”. The dissemination included the translation and free distribution to all health professionals (300.000) of three reference books – British National Formulary; Medicines for Children and Clinical Evidence. The implementation plan includes the development of a free-access e-learning Continuing Medical Education (CME) system, based on Clinical Evidence, called ECCE. Doctors have access to a Clinical Evidence electronic version and related clinical vignettes. Solving the vignettes provides CME credits. Our objective was to understand the factors influencing knowledge transfer using a CME distance programme, based on clinical vignettes driven by the Clinical Evidence in general medical practice. As of June 10th 2007, more than 30 000 doctors voluntarily subscribed to ECCE (11.8%). Two surveys assessed doctors’ judgement about Clinical Evidence and ECCE. Free distribution and implementation of Clinical Evidence to Italian doctors have been well received, confirming their preference for problem-driven information and the key-role of a strong endorsement from Health Authorities for their implementation.

Il Ministero della Salute ha promosso, nel 2001, un programma nazionale di supporto all’”informazione indipendente”. La disseminazione comprende la traduzione e la libera distribuzione a tutti i professionisti del campo medico (300.000 persone) di tre libri di riferimento – British National Formulary, Medicines for Children and Clinical Evidence. Il piano di implementazione include lo sviluppo di una modalità ad accesso aperto di e-learning Educazione Medica Continua (CME), basata su Clinical Evidence e chiamata ECCE. I medici accedono alla versione elettronica del testo e alle vignette correlate. Risolvendo le vignette ottengono punti CME. L’obiettivo è quello di comprendere i fattori che influenzando il processo di trasferimento della conoscenza nella 0pratica medica utilizzando un programma a distanza CME basato su vignette. Al 10 giugno 2007, più di 30.000 medici si sono volontariamente iscritti ad ECCE (11.8%). Due sondaggi hanno appurato il parere dei medici su Clinical Evidence ed ECCE. La distribuzione gratuita e l’implementazione di Clinical Evidence è stata ben accolta dai medici italiani, confermando la preferenza per un tipo di informazione mirata al problema e il ruolo chiave nell’azione di sostegno di questa implementazione da parte delle autorità sanitarie nazionali.
