“…As with librarians, health informaticists, as managers of health data and decision-making tools, do serve a role in supporting evidence-based health care. Murphy, in her 2010 article ''Health Science Librarianship's Legacy to Health Informatics,'' identified the relative intensity in informatics-specific activities between the two disciplines [8]. She determined that health informaticists were more intense in the areas of database design, health and patient information databases, and decision system design, while librarians excelled in human interaction as well as education and training.…”

New Review of Information Networking

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Improving learning and synthesis of new knowledge is often a challenge for nursing faculty in the twenty-first century. Faculty are urged to use new technologies and to embrace methodologies that include more interactions by the student. Today's students are less adept in written and oral communication and, consequently, more hesitant to speak out or write independently for fear of ridicule by others. These same students, by virtue of their adaptation and immersion in technological advances, need support in using these same mechanisms to improve their communication skills. Interpersonal communication across many levels is very important in nursing. This article summarizes a study of nursing students at North Carolina Central University in the spring of 2011 and their use of social networking to communicate about nursing education and medical errors. This qualitative pilot study used new social media known as web logs (blogs) to enable students to become more secure communicating with one another. The tool was a Google-based blog. The nursing students' interaction styles were evaluated based on topics and inter-connections. Visualizations of the social network communications as maps are provided with the article to illustrate data analysis results.As a pilot study the research may be used for system design requirements for a medical educational environment that promotes sharing information and collecting data related to quality care and learning. Potential social media tools for future consideration include Facebook, Twitter, blogs, electronic journals, forums (or chat rooms), and wikis (group-authored encyclopedia/information sites) as found on the web, on smart phones and in online education tools. This research project was based on an earlier study of nursing students using blogs and sharing 151 152 E. J. Roland et al. medical error information in confidence. The researchers on the 2011 project have found that analyzing, for example, how students support each other during school, learn about drug calculations and NCLEX examination preparations, by means of social networking could lead to ways to reduce errors as students develop communication habits, share knowledge, and pay more attention to tasks.

“…This provides health librarians with an opportunity to engage in the discussions and to develop their knowledge and skills base in a complementary fashion (NHS Library Services, 2010; Australian College of Health Informatics, 2010; Australian Health Informatics Education Council, 2010). The 'intersection' between the two groups (health informatics and health science librarianship) has been described as an area to be exploited in order to generate new ideas (McKibbon, Eady & Walker-Dilks, 2005;Murphy, 2010). While there are two areas that differentiate health informatics -the focus on information and communications technologies to support and improve healthcare, and the knowledge base which comprises both health and patient information, Murphy (2010:77) suggests that 'the two communities have many shared interests and could benefit from closer collaboration'.…”

Through a grant received from the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA), Health Libraries Australia (HLA) is conducting a twelve-month research project with the goal of developing a system-wide approach to education for the future health librarianship workforce. The research has two main aims: to determine the future skills, knowledge, and competencies for the health librarian workforce in Australia; and to develop a structured, modular education framework for specialist post-graduate qualifications together with a structure for ongoing continuing professional development. The paper highlights some of the drivers for change for health librarianship as a profession, and particularly for educating the future workforce. The research methodology is outlined and the main results of the second stage of the project are described together with the findings and their implications for the development of a structured, competency-based education framework.
