Abstract
This study sought to provide a protocol for searching complex medical cases of grand rounds. A clinical informationist was embedded in gastroenterology grand rounds to use comprehensive search strategies and summarize patients' information through concept mapping. Our proposed protocol classifies into three categories: (1) The general search strategy, (2) The protocol for searching for evidence about rare diseases, and (3) Identifying other resources more than routine medical databases. This approach represents a novel method beyond previous studies which were focused on usual ward rounds to facilitate evidence-based decision-making by providing and simplifying a comprehensive summary view of complex medical cases.
