University of Cincinnati Medical Center: integrating information

The University of Cincinnati Medical Center has combined five existing units into a new organization responsible for initiating an Integrated Academic Information Management System (IAIMS). This new organization, Medical Center Information and Communications, was reorganized into nine departments, which now provide a variety of information services. Ultimate goals for IAIMS include a patient-centered database, a decision-support system, and a knowledge network. The IAIMS prototype, currently under development for the University of Cincinnati Hospital's Internal Medicine Service, consists of components representative of the IAIMS model's ultimate goals. A major premise of this IAIMS effort is that it is patient-centered.

Hospital Library Reference

A brief review of hospital library reference problems is presented. The essential problem in a one-person medical library is the time factor or time constraint under which appropriate answer to reference questions must be delivered. Various other common reference problems such as emergencies, misunderstood requests, ethical considerations of priorities, and the choice of computerized data base versus manual searching are discussed as they relate to the small medical library. Some reference aids are suggested as they apply to specific problems in cancer chemotherapy, syndrome identification, and adverse effects of drugs. A sampling of quick reference sources is included.
