Abstract
Standards for Library and Information Services in Canadian Healthcare Facilities 2006
Highlights
Efficient and timely access to evidence-based health literature is an important element in the provision of safe patient care
Information needs and library service are acknowledged in the standards of such accrediting organizations as the Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation (CCHSA), the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada Accreditation of Residency Programs
Regionalization, computerization, and new approaches to health care have resulted in dramatic changes to healthcare facilities over the years, as evidenced in CCHSA’s most recent Achieving Improved Measurement (AIM) standards
Summary
Efficient and timely access to evidence-based health literature is an important element in the provision of safe patient care. The 1995 CHLA Standards for Library and Information Services in Canadian Healthcare Facilities needed to be revised. The Library and Information Service is integral to developing systems and delivering services to meet the knowledge and evidence-based information needs of the organization and is a key collaborator in any information management initiative.
