Objective: This scoping review aims to identify and map the characteristics of research studies, types, delivery methods, and team members of physician-directed information prescription services.

Methods: Following the PRISMA-ScR checklist, a systematic search was performed on Web of Science, Scopus, Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts (LISTA), and PubMed/Medline from 1990 to 2021.

Results: 37 studies were included in the final analysis. Five types of providing information prescription were recognized: typical, oral, web-based, electronic, and mixed methods. Physicians, nurses, and librarians were the most agreed-upon professionals in information prescription delivery teams. The steps of prescribing information were needs assessment, content production, information evaluation, prescribing information, follow-up, and documentation.

Discussion: This review presents a synthesis of the process of information prescription. It is suggested to determine the effective information prescription type, provide methods and develop the service according to patients' preferences and characteristics.

Practice Implications: Results of this study can be used to identify the challenges, the competent individuals, roles, and steps of information prescription service, as well as design and develop the protocol, model, and flowchart of it.

Background: Physicians gain knowledge about medical product uses from a variety of information vehicles including FDA-approved labeling, peer-reviewed journal articles, compendia, continuing medical education (CME), and physician-directed promotion. The source of this information, the quality of the information, and environmental pressures such as lack of time may impact perceptions.

Objective: The authors tested the effect of three types of information sources (journal abstract, sales aid without graphics, sales aid with graphics), the presence or absence of time pressure to read the information, and two levels of methodological rigor (high, low) on perceptions of study quality, perceptions of product effectiveness and riskiness, and prescribing likelihood.

Pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) remain the most common cause of morbidity, recurrent hospitalization, and diminished survival in people with cystic fibrosis (PWCF) and are characterized by excess inflammation. Corticosteroids are potent, widely available antiinflammatory drugs. However, corticosteroid efficacy data from randomized controlled trials in PWCF are limited.

Precision lifestyle medicine is a relatively new field in primary care, based on the hypothesis that genetic predispositions influence an individual's response to specific interventions such as diet, exercise, and prescription medications. Despite the increase in commercially available genomic testing, few studies have investigated effects of a physician-directed program to optimize chronic disease using genomics-based precision medicine. We performed an pilot, observational cohort study to evaluate effects of the Wild Health program, a physician and health coach service offering genomics-based lifestyle and medical interventions, on biomarkers indicative of chronic disease.

We compared the effectiveness of physician-directed clinical decision support (CDS) administered via electronic health record versus patient-directed education to promote the appropriate use of opioids by conducting a cluster-randomized trial involving 82 primary care physicians and 951 of their patients with chronic pain. Primary outcomes were satisfaction with patient-physician communication consumer assessment of health care providers and system clinician and group survey (CG-CAHPS) and pain interference patient-reported outcomes measurement information system. Secondary outcomes included physical function (patient-reported outcomes measurement information system), depression (PHQ-9), high-risk opioid prescribing (>90 morphine milligram equivalents per day [≥90 mg morphine equivalent/day]), and co-prescription of opioids and benzodiazepines.
