Providing clear and meaningful data demonstrates the value of medical librarians. Securing funding to purchase a data tracking system on the market can be challenging if not impossible for librarians with limited budgets. The objective of this project was to build a data tracking system using Microsoft 365 applications provided by the institution for no additional cost. As an industry standard, many institutions have site-wide subscriptions to a suite of Microsoft tools including productivity, collaboration and cloud services. This includes Microsoft 365, with over 20 applications available. The authors reviewed individual applications and conducted trials before selecting three, namely Microsoft Forms, Excel, and Power BI, to work together effectively to input, analyze, and report library statistics. The final data tracking system integrates within Teams for easy sharing within the institution without additional funding.","PeriodicalId":35389,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospital Librarianship","volume":"23 1","pages":"97 - 105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42982254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Libraries make this contribution in the face of constant change where the power of the librarian is of utmost importance (1). With changes following the COVID-19 pandemic, it is essential that librarians possess the competencies needed to support evolving digital libraries and meet the technological demands involved in supporting 24/7 seamless access to online resources, distance education and digital scholarship (2). Even with this scope of work, librarian positions in health environments are vulnerable to economic fluctuations in health care. This has been highlighted by staff loses and site closures, including librarian retirement (1,3). The latest census of Australian health libraries raises further concerns about the maturity of the health librarian workforce, which may undergo significant attrition and consequent loss of expertise in the next decade (4). Strategic planning is recommended to deal with workforce factors. As today’s graduates are the future of libraries in health care settings, planning should focus on creating opportunities for new librarians. Attention to workplace training programs in health care environments is essential, and the implementation of new library training programs will contribute to sustainable development of the professional workforce while also providing new learning opportunities for the existing workforce. This column depicts a current approach implemented in a health service in Melbourne, Australia. It outlines a Library Cadetship that has been designed for graduates as an entry level paid position coupled with a workplace training program. Reflections from the employer and incumbent Cadets point to the success of the program. This example provides evidence for new entry level positions, enriched by workplace training in health sciences libraries.","PeriodicalId":35389,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospital Librarianship","volume":"23 1","pages":"134 - 139"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43278800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients affected by rare diseases not only deal with the attendant challenges of illness but also face many additional barriers due to having a condition that is rare. Rare Disease Day, observed every February 29 , the rarest day of the year, is a way to raise awareness of rare diseases and provide support for those affected by rare diseases. (In non-leap years, Rare Disease Day is held on February 28). Rare Disease Day provides an opportunity for librarians to provide resources and programming in support of this patient community. This article discusses resources and programming that librarians can develop in support of patients with rare diseases and highlights some rare disease programming conducted at one consumer health library in observance of Rare Disease Day. Rare diseases are sometimes referred to as orphan diseases. There are multiple definitions of rare diseases but according to the Orphan Drug Act, in the United States a disease is considered rare if it affects fewer than 20,000 people (2). In the European Union, a disease is considered rare when it affects fewer than one out of 2000 people (3). There are between 6000 and 8000 diseases that are considered rare. While only a few people are affected by any one rare disease, collectively rare diseases affect 30 million people in the United States and 300 million people worldwide (2). Approximately 70% to 80% of rare diseases have an identified genetic component (2), while other rare diseases may result from infections, allergies, or environmental causes. A rare disease is often present throughout a person’s entire life, even if symptoms do not immediately appear. Nearly 66% of patients impacted by rare diseases are pediatric patients, which not only negatively affects the patient but also impacts parents/families. Subsequently, parents take on the role of medical caregivers (3). Patients with rare diseases face many challenges during their healthcare journey. There is a lack of provider knowledge of many rare diseases. These patients are often misdiagnosed or often go undiagnosed. On average, it takes over 6–8 years for a patient with a rare disease to be diagnosed correctly, and often these patients are subjected to multiple medical tests often unnecessarily (4).

Due to the rarity of the diseases, available information can be scarce and lead to non-traditional, untrustworthy sources. A survey of 136 RASopathies caregivers was conducted via social media. The findings indicate that health information needs pertained to information about specialized medical practitioners and self-care support, while preferred information formats included visual media like images and links to helpful health articles. Caregivers were less interested in physical or print resources related to health and medical conditions when compared to digital resources and social media health information. Parents were more likely to share peer-reviewed or vetted health articles as opposed to media reports and other sources that may be more prone to disseminating fake news or disinformation about rare health conditions. This study has implications both for information professionals and eHealth professionals.","PeriodicalId":35389,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospital Librarianship","volume":"23 1","pages":"83 - 96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49156593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The premise was to provide students with tools to support emerging and innovative trends in health care. This provided a great multidisciplinary outreach opportunity for the library which provided a class on literature searching in addition to one-on-one consultations to the medical center employees who enrolled in the course. Healthcare is changing rapidly with the introduction of new information technologies, digital health, wearable technologies, data analytics, and valuebased healthcare performance (1,2). To prepare medical staff for emerging trends in healthcare, a large urban academic medical center introduced a new accredited graduate program, Master of Health Delivery Science (MHDS). The 20-month curriculum is organized around four academic cores: Data Collection and Analytics, Healthcare Finance, Performance Improvement, and Healthcare Informatics. Each core comprises two to four modules completed during the first 16 months of the program, with the program culminating in a capstone project integrating the learning from the cores. The program was offered nationwide and has enrolled about 16–25 students annually since its inception in 2017. Students come from varied healthcare backgrounds, including physicians, nurses, physical therapists, pharmacists, administrators, laboratory, clinical research, and information technology providing a multidisciplinary outreach experience for the library. Classes are taught in the evenings. Many of these students were hospital employees and several were affiliated with other institutions. The library was asked to take part in the Quality and Safety module of the Performance Improvement Core. In this module, students learn how to develop quality or safety improvement projects and learn how to evaluate the improvement by using appropriate measures.","PeriodicalId":35389,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospital Librarianship","volume":"23 1","pages":"39 - 43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48779528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
