Clinical Information Needs of Rural Health Network Providers: A Survey

This paper summarizes results of an online survey of clinicians conducted in Fall 2024 by a solo hospital librarian across five institutions in a rural six-hospital system, to ascertain gaps and barriers to clinical information used for clinical decision-making, continuing education and professional development. Results show that despite several network-wide subscriptions, clinicians at all five sites continue to experience gaps and barriers in access to information. This publication expands on a poster that culminated work from participation in the year-long Medical Library Association Research Training Institute in 2024–25.
