Mobile Clinical Library Program / Satellite Librarian Program
Kootenai Medical Center
Coeur d’Alene, ID

The Satellite Librarian Program will address the information needs of the medical staff at Kootenai Medical Center by providing research, reference and instructional services in the physicians’ lounge area via a mobile technology unit with a laptop computer, printer, projector and cart.

The Mobile Clinical Librarian Program will be a partnership with KMC’s Intensivist and Hospitalist teams. Librarians will use the mobile technology unit to answer questions at the point of care while participating in rounds with the physicians.

This award will allow clinical staff at the Northern Rockies Rural Health Clinic (NRRHC) timely access to accurate health information regarding patient care and will equip NRRHC for full participation in the Health Information Exchange of Montana. Computers will be placed at the nursing stations and the physician offices within the NRRHC clinic. The project will enable the healthcare providers to access, review, and document patient information efficiently. A scanner will be used to convert paper-based medical records into an electronic record format.
