Rural Hospital Electronic Library of Michigan (RHELM II)

描述(由申请人提供)： 密歇根州乡村医院电子图书馆(RHELM)项目于2002年2月构思，并在IADL的资助下于2002年10月取得成果。协同医学教育联盟(前身为萨吉诺合作医院公司)与三家乡村医院合作，为他们提供电子资源，在线搜索医疗、护理和消费信息。Synergy Medical是一家医疗保健提供商和医学教育公司，在我们的现场诊所和急性护理附属医院为医学生和住院医生提供本科生和研究生培训。我们为当地和该地区的医生提供继续医学教育(CME)。我们的外展计划是密歇根中东部地区15家乡村医院和卫生部门的主要医疗信息来源。每个农村地区的一名联络人要求提供信息，并将其转发给协和医疗中心的外联协调员。请求在收到后24-48小时内处理，并传真或邮寄给请求者。RHELM项目的目标是在护理地点提供对电子资源的访问，从而从等式中消除24小时+时间因素。利用我们在2002年收到的美洲反兴奋剂机构的资金，我们为我们区域的三家乡村医院提供了计算机设备，并完成了电子资源网站。我们从2003年5月开始培训员工和员工进行PubMed搜索，并将在接下来的几个月里涵盖MedlinePlus、TOXNET、StatRef和CINAHL。我们正在申请另一笔IADL赠款，这样我们就可以与另外两家医院和一个公共卫生部门合作，并将他们添加到我们的RHELM用户群中。为了实现这一目标，Synergy Medical将购买和安装必要的计算机设备，并向新用户提供RHELM网站。我们将对医务人员和员工进行在线搜索培训，并以用户满意度调查的形式进行跟进。RHELM网址：http://www.rhelm.org.

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Rural Hospital Electronic Library of Michigan (RHELM) Project was conceived in February 2002 and brought to fruition in October 2002 with IADL funding. Synergy Medical Education Alliance (formerly Saginaw Cooperative Hospitals, Inc.) partnered with three rural hospitals to provide them with electronic resources to search for medical, nursing, and consumer information online. Synergy Medical is a health care provider and medical education corporation that provides undergraduate and graduate training to medical students and residents in our on-site clinics and acute care affiliated hospitals. We provide continuing medical education (CME) to physicians locally and within the region. Our outreach program is the primary source of medical information for 15 rural hospitals and health departments in the East Central Michigan Region. Information is requested by a contact person at each rural site and forwarded to the outreach coordinator at Synergy Medical. The request is processed within 24-48 hours of receipt and faxed or mailed to the requestor. The goal of the RHELM Project is to provide access to electronic resources at the point of care, thus eliminating the 24-hour + time factor from the equation. With IADL funding we received in 2002 we have provided three of the rural hospitals in our region with computer equipment and have completed the web site for electronic resources. We began training staff and employees in PubMed searching in May 2003, and will cover MedlinePlus, Toxnet, StatRef and CINAHL over the next few months. We are applying for another IADL grant so we can partner with two additional hospitals and a public health department and add them to our group of RHELM users. To attain this goal, Synergy Medical will purchase and install the necessary computer equipment and make the RHELM web site available to the new users. We will train the medical staff and employees to search online, and conduct follow up in the form of user satisfaction surveys. RHELM web address: http://www.rhelm.org.
