DexNote: a learner-centric tool for radiology knowledge tracking.

Full Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Given the complexity of medical knowledge and intermittent nature of clinical learning, technology can be helpful for information management. DexNote is a freely accessible application that allows users to develop structured notes, enabling rapid access to previously encountered material and incorporation of new information. Sample notes with approximately 22,000 entries are described. CONCLUSION: Using an upward and downward branching organizational structure, DexNote makes the highly connected nature of medical information an integral part of the knowledge database.
