The Italian Drug Agency (AIFA) wanted to ensure Italian GP’s had access to reliable and valid information on drug effectiveness and safety. They introduced CME in 1998, a free access e learning system based on BMJ Clinical Evidence. Interactive vignettes reflecting real life scenarios faced by GPs and specialists can be read on screen or printed at each step.
In a survey 90% of respondent found the vignettes relevant and appropriate. They found the information to be reliable and relevant, free of conflict of interest and more useful than Cochrane SRs for daily practice.
