Nothing revelatory, but good stuff on evidence based medicine (or evidence based healthcare) and changes anticipated with the adoption of EMRs (or EHRs). Good to have another reminder that the profession is changing in exciting ways- and that medical libraryfolk need to dive right in as soon and as hard as possible. (Which makes me think of Dean Giustini’s comments.) [...] [...] Interesting article from Information World Review on the “Information Specialist in Context” in healthcare.

I believe that medical librarians need to be involved in all aspects of interface and database design for clinical tools. As information technology continues to grow at an exponential rate, medical librarians will increasingly need to bridge the gap between clinicians and information technology. More on this in a future post I've been drafting on and off for a few weeks. Thanks for writing, Dean! Dean, I couldn’t agree more.

I think it's critical that health librarians influence the direction of search technology, point-of-care tools and promoting the best evidence among physicians. This physician is also similar to some of mine at Vancouver hospital, except that many docs here also use handhelds and PDAs instead of laptops. Health librarians have to make it easier for physicians to find the evidence from formulation of the clinical question, retrieval through to appraisal and application in patient populations. Keep up the blogging. You've got a knack for it Dean David,
