This paper explores in depth the adverse effects of information pollution within the medical domain,specifically in the context of clinical diagnosis,and presents corresponding strategies to address the issue.By analyzing illustrative cases,it uncovers that information pollution can result in dire consequences such as misdiagnosis and delayed treatment.Two primary sources of this pollution are identified:ineffective triage by hospitals and information contamination on the patient's side.The former stems from triage personnel's inadequate clinical competence and limited perspectives,while the latter encompasses preconceived notions among patients'families and an overload of redundant information on the internet.To mitigate information pollution and enhance diagnostic and treatment quality,the paper proposes three approaches:firstly,establishing a more intuitive consultation framework;secondly,reinforcing hospital information systems to reduce pollution;and thirdly,actively improving patients'healthcare-seeking behaviors.
