We had a great conversation at the Council of Academic Library Directors conference, where we shared that freely available online health information is not enough. This is true for providers who are seeking information for patient care, and patients who are seeking information to understand their own diagnosis and treatment options.
And then we invited our library colleagues to DREAM BIG WITH US as we envisioned a Minnesota where
- health providers had access to information to support informed patient care and advance workforce development?
- health researchers from across Minnesota could more seamlessly collaborate as they work to address our state’s healthcare priorities?
- health professions educators had a shared set of resources to train our state’s future healthcare workforce?
- health professions students had continuity of information access between education and practice?
- caregivers could be better prepared to manage the health needs of their loved ones?
- patients — including you — had access to tools to support informed decision-making?
