Impact Annual Report for Librarians

Ascension Wisconsin Library Services Literature Search
Survey
Annual Report - 2016
By Michele
Matucheski, Librarian a Ascension Wisconsin
In 2015,
Ministry Health Care Librarians began collecting feedback on the research
(literature searches) we provided to our patrons. This survey data was saved to a QuickBase App
where we could compile and present the data visually.
After the
Ascension Wisconsin merger in 2016, this QuickBase App was opened up to the
newly formed Ascension Wisconsin Library Services Department, allowing 3 more
Librarians to invite their respective customers to fill out evaluations on the
quality and impacts of the research provided.
This feedback helps us understand how that research was used
system-wide.
This report
shows the impact Library Services has on Ascension Wisconsin’s QUADRUPLE AIM :
1) Delivering high quality care
2) Better patient and
3) provider experiences and
4) lowering overall costs
The word cloud above
illustrates just SOME of the research projects that your Librarians have worked
on in 2016.

that Librarian-led information services improve clinical decision making and
patient care outcomes. Library Services and quality health information

their institution's mission and goals through expert searches, teaching health professional
