Abstract
A study of physicians' adoption of innovative practices demonstrated the importance of having a well-informed colleague, or information "gatekeeper" in an institutional setting. These influential physicians are termed "gatekeepers" because they tend to filter and control the flow of information in their institution. Such influence has been shown to be vital in passing along information about new medical technologies.
