DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A report of the Institute of Medicine in 1995 described a number of challenges facing Health Services Research, including the limited availability of crucial data required to describe current trends in health care, and predict and track the consequences of these trends. Just as health informatics research has addressed physicians' and patients' access to and understanding of clinical data and medical knowledge, the field of informatics is well-positioned to address the related information needs issues for researchers. Understanding the information needs of clinicians and patients has been fundamental to the success of informatics research towards developing valuable resources for these information-hungry groups. A similar study of the information needs of researchers will also provide a framework for improving information systems to help researchers access, manage and analyze their data with greater efficiency. Since the outcome of research forms the evidence base used by clinicians, patients and policy-makers, this endeavor will impact many facets of healthcare delivery. The proposed study initiates a series of investigations to examine researcher information needs. This study will analyze the nature of researcher information needs in terms of the kinds of questions posed, the sources used to find answers, the specific data elements sought and the success with which these needs are addressed. Although the specific information needs of researchers are different from those of patients or physicians, the lessons learned through prior informatics work that addressed clinician and patient needs should be valuable in the study of research information needs Similar to early studies of clinician information needs that focused on a single type of provider, this study will limit its examination of information needs to those of the Health Services Researcher. This information needs evaluation will be accomplished through completion of the following specific aims, based on the goals of earlier and more recent studies of information needs: 1) Develop an inventory of research information needs. What questions are being asked, what sources are being used to address the needs, what are the unmet information needs? 2) Determine patterns of association among the elements of the inventory. 3) Describe differences in the inventory of information needs in the 1988-1989 period and 1998-1999 period reflecting the pre-world wide web era and the present time. The significance of this research inquiry is that, analogous to the clinical domain, a greater understanding of research information needs will help to address variation and inefficiencies in the conduct of research, particularly involving data collection, and help create information sources and interfaces that better support the research process.

描述（由申请人提供）： 医学研究所1995年的一份报告描述了一些挑战 面临的卫生服务研究，包括关键的有限的可用性 描述当前医疗保健趋势以及预测和跟踪所需的数据 这些趋势的后果。就像健康信息学研究 解决了医生和患者对临床信息的获取和理解， 数据和医学知识，信息学领域处于有利地位， 解决研究人员的相关信息需求问题。 了解临床医生和患者的信息需求， 信息学研究成功的基础是开发有价值的 为这些渴求信息的群体提供资源。一个类似的研究， 研究人员的信息需求也将提供一个框架， 帮助研究人员访问、管理和分析数据的信息系统 更高的效率。由于研究结果构成了证据基础， 由临床医生，患者和政策制定者使用，这一奋进将影响许多 医疗服务的方方面面。 拟议的研究启动了一系列调查来检查研究人员 信息需求。本研究将分析研究者的性质 在所提出的问题种类、所使用的资料来源方面的信息需求 为了找到答案，所寻求的具体数据元素以及 这些需求得到满足。虽然具体的信息需求， 研究人员与患者或医生不同， 通过先前针对临床医生和患者的信息学工作 需求应该是研究科研信息需求的价值所在 类似于临床医生信息需求的早期研究， 单一类型的供应商，这项研究将限制其审查的信息 需要卫生服务研究人员的帮助。该信息需要 评估将通过完成以下具体的 目标，基于早期和最近的信息研究的目标 需求：1）编制研究信息需求清单。什么问题 正在被问到，正在使用哪些资源来满足需求， 未满足的信息需求？ 2)确定这些人之间的关联模式 清单的内容。 3)描述清单中的差异， 1988-1989年期间和1998-1999年期间的信息需求 前万维网时代和现在。 这项研究的意义在于，类似于临床研究， 更好地了解研究信息需求将有助于 解决研究中的差异和效率低下问题，特别是 涉及数据收集，并帮助创建信息源和接口 更好地支持研究过程。
