“…Of these, 29% indicated that it was a diagnosis that had been changed. In 2013, Marshall revisited this research question [25]. This time, 75% of respondents handled patient care differently, 25% of them related to diagnosis.…”

Abstract:The National Academy of Medicine (NAM) in the recently issued report Improving Diagnosis in Health Care outlined eight major recommendations to improve the quality and safety of diagnosis. The #1 recommendation was to improve teamwork in the diagnostic process. This is a major departure from the classical approach, where the physician is solely responsible for diagnosis. In the new, patient-centric vision, the core team encompasses the patient, the physician and the associated nursing staff, with each playing an active role in the process. The expanded diagnostic team includes pathologists, radiologists, allied health professionals, medical librarians, and others. We review the roles that each of these team members will need to assume, and suggest "first steps" that each new team member can take to achieve this new dynamic.

“…Most notably, studies done by Marshall and others attempted to quantify the outcomes of literature searches on medical care [24,25]. Of more than 16,000 clinician survey respondents, 80% said they had handled some aspect of patient care differently due to the information received.…”

“…Recent research has highlighted the value of librarians and their impact on patient care. 30 This role brought extra dimensions to the service, involving external partnerships and forging wider links to health information providers, adding considerable value to the way the project was delivered. Third sector organisations not only agreed to help support NHS organisations in their long-term condition mandates around patient information; they offered gateways into a range of local services for helping people develop self-management strategies.…”

Background: People with long-term conditions need to be signposted to high quality information and advice to understand and manage their condition. Information seeking tools combined with third sector information could help address their information needs. Objective: To describe the development and implementation of an information service for people living with long-term conditions at one NHS acute trust in the Northeast of England. Methods: An information service was trialled using bespoke information models for three long-term conditions in collaboration with third sector organisations. These guided people to relevant, timely and reliable information. Both clinician and service user questionnaires were used to evaluate satisfaction with the service. Results: Appropriately designed information models can be used interchangeably across all services. Between 75% and 91% of users agreed that they were satisfied with various aspects of the service. Generally, users received relevant, understandable and high quality information at the right time. Nearly all health professionals (94-100%) felt the service was accessible, provided high quality information and did not significantly impact on their consultation time. Conclusion: The developed information service was well received by service users and health professionals. Specifically, the use of information prescriptions and menus facilitated access to information for people with long-term conditions.

“…Ce défi prend d'autant plus d'importance que les milieux académiques et cliniques ont accès à un nombre important de ressources informationnelles, sans toujours disposer des connaissances nécessaires pour réaliser des recherches ciblées [4,5,6]. Il appert que les enseignants et les étudiants des milieux académiques s'en tiennent, le plus souvent, à un nombre limité de bases de données avec lesquelles ils sont familiers, et qu'ils ne semblent pas bien connaître l'éventail des ressources documentaires qui s'offrent à eux.…”
