This framework provides guidance for finding the right information resources by first categorizing the type of question, whether it is about basic science, clinical background, or a common or rare clinical issue. It then directs the user to different resources depending on the question, with basic science questions going to detailed literature searches and textbooks, while common clinical questions can be answered through point of care resources and apps. The goal is to match the right resource to the question in order to most efficiently find the needed information.
