abstract |
This paper presents an overview of several evidence-based medicine and patient information
studies conducted across the UK health service over a 4 year period, investigating
clinicians', managers', and patients' perceptions of digital resources (primarily
digital libraries) in hospitals, Primary Care Trusts, NHS Direct (patient call centre)
and patient groups. In-depth interviews and focus groups are analysed using grounded
theory methodologies and through content analysis used to produce quantitative finding.
The perceived impacts of three different methods employed for delivering health informatics
are presented. The findings highlight some generic issues relevant for health informatics
in the UK health sector as well as some specific issues for medical digital libraries.
This paper reviews in more detail the issues of medical technology implementation
(traditional implementation, on the wards, and intermediaries within in communities).
A breakdown of the clinicians' and patients' information journey (information initiation,
facilitation and interpretation) is also presented with regard to medical digital
libraries and online resources. Broad guidelines derived from these findings are provided
for health-informatics deployment. |
