the least. Berkowitz (2002) reports that every year the Medline database expands by an estimated 300,000 articles. That equates to 800 new articles daily (Berkowitz, 2002)! Information
overload, however, is no excuse for not being abreast of the information that is most applicable to ones own needs. A classic study on the degree to which physicians
needed outside help in their profession found that they typically have two questions that must be addressed for every three patients with which they interact (Berkowitz, 2002). Unfortunately,
the literature is underutilized in answering these questions because it is so overwhelming (Berkowitz, 2002). One means of identifying studies that
are of the most use in a particular task is the utilization of a scoring system. Such systems can be quite complex or quite simplistic. To be of use
information must be specific to the problem we are researching. It must also be readily available at the time the need arises and research studies must be adequately
designed and conducted. A simplistic scoring approach would take into account factors relating to information content such as approaches using randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, meta analyses, clearly defined
hypothesis, and a definitive and strong conclusion. If one point were assigned for each of these considerations an article could be easily scored on a scale of zero to
five. The article that would be least valuable to the harried professional would score zero as it would have none of those features. The most valuable article would score
five and would have all of those features. Consider the medical professional, for example, that has become concerned about the potential
