“…Their role entails assisting families, patients, and the general public to locate credible health information to enable these individuals to use the information to discuss issues with medical professionals or seek out treatment [ 54 ]. HIPs in this type of position can also contribute to collection development to provide the best health information resources possible for each user and to serve as expert searchers [ 65 , 77 ].…”

ObjectiveThis scoping review identified the emerging and evolving roles of health information professionals (HIPs) in a range of tasks and settings, as they adapt to varied user needs, while keeping up with changing medical landscapes to provide evidence-based information support in grand rounds and scholarly research. The review aims to inform library school students about expected entry-level job qualifications and faculty about adaptable changes to specialized HIP curricula.MethodsThe authors examined 268 peer-reviewed journal articles that concentrated on evolving HIP roles, professional settings, and contexts by retrieving results from several multidisciplinary databases.ResultsHIPs, who generally serve as “embedded librarians,” are taking on more active roles as collaborators, research experts, and liaisons, replacing more passive and exclusive roles as information providers and outreach agents or research assistants. These evolving roles in the reviewed literature were broken into nine categories in approximate order of prominence.ConclusionsA new model linking these evolving roles to the Medical Library Association (MLA) fundamental professional competencies was developed to provide an operational examination and research-based evidence for adapting HIP continuing education curriculum learning outcomes, course content and delivery, and student career pathways for existing graduate HIP specialization courses in library programs. The model indicates each role’s connection to the MLA professional competencies, based on MLA’s detailed description of each competency. A better understanding of HIP demands and expectations will enhance the capacity of library programs to prepare students in HIP specializations.

“…Further, Schneider (2005) explained that CMLs are needed to assist families, patients, and the general public in locating trust worthy health records so that they can address problems with medical practitioners or seek care. In this type of role, Health Information Professionals (HIPs) often contribute to the development of collection in order to provide the best available health information services for each person, as well as act as expert searchers (Dudden & Protzko, 2011;Greyson, 2011). Researchers addressing the increasing need for culturally competent HIP librarianship recently discussed about the growing need for health information materials and programs to serve LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) patrons or patients and about their specific information needs, necessitating HIPs to cultivate and practice cultural competency in these populations (Hawkins et al, 2017;Mi & Zhang, 2017;Morris & Hawkins, 2016;Sullo & Gomes, 2016).…”

Today Clinical Medical Librarianship fulfill many critical roles in the hospital setting by providing the correct information at the right time in a variety of ways to enhance the effectiveness in productivity of hospitals and medical staff. The other roles that have to play are optimize patient care, improve patient outcomes, and increase patient & family satisfaction about the services provided by the hospital. As Clinical Medical Librarians (CMLs) and their services provide an excellent return on investment for the hospital and help keeping its competitive edge, hospital staff should have access to the services of a professional librarian. The aim of this study is to use the findings from the literature to highlight the necessity of the Library and Information Science (LIS) curriculum to contain the role of the CML as well as the specialization course content of Clinical Medical Librarianship covering content distribution, learning protocol, and practical planning. Thus, the results of this study can be used as the basis for future developments in the Library and Information Science curriculum to provide a more appropriate and detailed curriculum that covers the required pedagogy on Clinical
