NN/LM Region 6 RML and NN/LM Evaluation Office (NEO)

 描述（由申请人提供）：该奖项将为华盛顿大学国家医学图书馆网络 (NN/LM) 第 6 区（阿拉斯加、爱达荷、蒙大拿、俄勒冈和华盛顿）运营一个地区医学图书馆 (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、紧急急救人员和图书馆员面临着人员和资源有限、人口稀少以及到达有需要的人（尤其是老年人、儿童和服务欠缺社区）的长途旅行的挑战。即使是规模不大的事件，无论是流感爆发、野火还是网络断电，都可能很快淹没整个社区。为了克服这些障碍，RML 采取了独特的方法来建立更强大的会员网络，为社区提供健康和数据信息访问。 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，该计划加强与网络成员、州或区域组织的区域合作，并提供教育计划和资助机会，以改善优先群体获得优质在线健康信息资源的机会，例如：卫生专业人员、老年人、K-12、公共卫生工作者、图书馆以及少数民族和农村社区。该计划的主要目标是： (1) 重组和加强第 6 区的治理，纳入区域领导人，他们将协助 RML 向社区推送资源并提高对该计划的认识； (2) 通过推广 NLM 计划和服务，让卫生专业人员和图书馆员更多地了解他们在提供公平获取高质量卫生信息方面的作用； (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且适合文化的健康信息； (5) 与现有组织合作，提供以下方面的培训研讨会：访问和共享生物医学大数据；使用临床数据解决初级保健健康问题；数据可视化； (6) 扩大网络会员模式，将数据组织纳入其中； (7) 通过提供资助来支持与州或地区组织的合作，以改善优质在线健康信息资源的获取，重点关注服务不足和优先的社区。其结果将允许共享知识、专业知识和资源，以最大限度地提高国家医学图书馆资源和专业知识对该地区的投资，从而改善太平洋西北地区的健康状况。

 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.
