AOU-CE & NEO SUPPLEMENT

描述（由申请人提供）：该奖项将为华盛顿大学的国家医学图书馆网络（NN/LM） 6区（阿拉斯加，爱达荷州，蒙大拿州，俄勒冈州和华盛顿州）运营一个区域医学图书馆（RML）。在阿拉斯加州、爱达荷州、蒙大拿州、俄勒冈州和华盛顿州的农村和边境县，卫生专业人员、急救人员和图书馆员受到人员和资源有限、人口稀少和长途跋涉的挑战，难以接触到需要帮助的人，特别是老年人、儿童和服务不足的社区。即使是规模不大的事件，无论是流感爆发、野火还是网络停电，都能迅速淹没一个社区。为了克服这些障碍，RML采取了一种独特的方法，建立了一个更强大的成员网络，在社区中提供卫生和数据信息访问。2016年5月，RML将启动“Be Boundless”，这是一项创新的区域医学图书馆计划，旨在加强与网络成员、州或区域组织的区域合作，并提供教育计划和资助机会，以改善卫生专业人员、老年人、K-12、公共卫生工作者、图书馆、少数民族和农村社区等优先群体获得优质在线卫生信息资源的机会。该计划的主要目标是：(1)重组和加强第6地区的治理，包括地区领导人，他们将协助RML将资源和对该计划的认识推向社区；(2)通过推广NLM项目和服务，教育卫生专业人员和图书馆员在提供公平获取高质量卫生信息方面的角色；(3)与区域合作伙伴合作，将NLM资源引入跨专业医疗团队，包括医生、护士、专职医疗人员和社区研究人员；(4)持续与图书馆合作，确保社区能够获得高质量和文化上适当的健康信息；(5)与现有组织合作，提供关于：获取和共享生物医学大数据的培训讲习班；利用临床数据解决初级保健卫生问题；数据可视化;(6)扩大网络会员模式，纳入数据组织；(7)通过资助奖励来支持与州或地区组织的合作，以改善对优质在线健康信息资源的获取，重点关注服务不足和优先社区。结果将允许共享知识、专门知识和资源，最大限度地将国家医学图书馆的资源和专门知识投资于该地区，以改善太平洋西北地区的卫生成果。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This award will operate a Regional Medical Library (RML) for the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM) Region 6 (Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington) at the University of Washington. In the rural and frontier counties of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington, health professionals, emergency first responders, and librarians are challenged by limited staff and resources, sparse populations, and long travel distances to reach those in need - especially seniors, children, and underserved communities. Even an event of modest size, whether it be an influenza outbreak, wildfire, or network power outage, can quickly overwhelm a community. To overcome these barriers, the RML has taken a unique approach to build a stronger member network providing health and data information access in the community. In May 2016, the RML will launch "Be Boundless," an innovative regional medical library program which strengthens regional collaboration with network members, state or regional organizations, and provides educational program and funding opportunities to improve access to quality online health information resources to priority groups such as: health professionals, seniors, K-12, public health workforce, libraries, and minority and rural communities. The major aims of this program are: (1) to restructure and strengthen the governance in Region 6 to include regional leaders who will assist the RML in pushing resources and awareness about the program into the community; (2) to teach health professionals and librarians more about their roles in providing equitable access to high quality health information by promoting NLM programs and services; (3) to work with regional partners to bring NLM resources to interprofessional healthcare teams, including physicians, nurses, allied health professions, and community researchers; (4) to continually engage libraries to ensure that communities have access to quality and culturally appropriate health information; (5) to partner with existing organizations to provide training workshops on: accessing and sharing biomedical big data; using clinical data to solve primary care health questions; data visualization; (6) to expand the network membership model to include data organizations; and (7) to support collaboration with state or regional organizations by funding awards that improve access to quality online health information resources with a focus on underserved and priority communities. The result will allow sharing of knowledge, expertise, and resources to maximize investment of National Library of Medicine resources and expertise to the region in order to improve health outcomes in the Pacific Northwest.
