| Popis: | Library staff and cardiologists partnering together in an outpatient clinic can be a value-added service for patients and increase visibility of librarians. Patients received a health information consultation from library staff and a customized packet to take home, while others were also trained on using reliable health websites like MedlinePlus. Between July 2014 and June 2016, library staff saw 234 patients. In September 2015, patient satisfaction surveys were initiated. Key findings were that 93% (n = 45) were “very satisfied” with a librarian as part of their health care team and 93% rated the information as “very helpful” or “helpful.” |
