Ways to Use the Value Study Results and Data
• Present and publicize within your institution and community
• Frame conversations with administrators, budget folks
• Use/download the data; conduct additional analyses
Present and Publicize
• Use presentation-ready PowerPoint results
• Available at study website
• Non-participants could choose:
• Full study results, or
• Particular groups
• Evidence valid for any health sciences library
• Represents a broad range of types and sizes of libraries
• Represents perceptions of both physicians and nurses
Personalize
• Examples from study participants and
non-participants
• Use your own “stories” to frame the study results
• Make it personal and relevant
• Emphasize selected data, depending on your needs and audience
Presentation – University of Rochester
• Presentation to Medical Center Leadership Team
• Used own results; similar to full study
• Same presentation to Library staff
Publicize – U. of Rochester Medical Center
Publicize – U. of Rochester
(university-wide online newsletter) article
Publicize – U. of Pittsburgh
University of NC at Chapel Hill
Prepare a presentation that speaks to your institution.
• Showed difference between full study results and their own results
• Put story on Library website linking to the full study poster and slide presentation on the MAR Value Study website
University of NC at Chapel Hill
• First meeting/orientation with new Chancellor and new Provost.
• Greatest impression made with Value Study results
• Able to talk about integration with Electronic Health Record. Provost said “It’s like having a librarian on
your shoulder.”
• Strategic Planning for University Libraries.
• Help to convince non-medical librarians
• Outcome – included goal about access to info for
health providers and consumers in state
Publicize– North Shore LIJ, Lenox Hill Hospital
• Sent JMLA article to top execs of hospital. Prompted one to stop by for a tour and discussion. “Thank you for sharing the article. It shows the value of having a medical library in a hospital like ours.”
• Used in budget discussions with finance chief. He said “Now this is what I need to see.”
• Sent to Patient Safety folks to highlight avoidance of adverse events and reduction in patient length of stay
Frame Conversations – NY South Central Regional Library Council
• 99-bed hospital had sent a non-renewal of membership in SCRLC. Decision reversed.
• 500-bed hospital decided not to hire an MLS librarian; library clerk became manager. Value Study data helped SCRLC make strong case for significant professional development for the library manager.

• Supporting Evidence-Based Practice
• Instruction
• Licensing Point of Care Resources

Open Doors –Winthrop University Hospital, L.I.Question from Interventional Radiologist – “Did you see
the article in JAMA?”Said he would talk to chief of Neuroscience Librarian invited to morning reportThen to Stroke report; ICU Neuro reportChief slides keyboard to librarian and says “teach us
something about PubMed” or “I was having trouble with this search…”
Librarian has taken 2 MOOCs in neurologyLibrarian says it has “changed her professional life”
Results Presented in National AHEC Meeting
Southeast Area Health Education Center InfoButtons – Library resources integrated in
EHR New Hanover Regional Medical Center,
Wilmington, NCPresentation used study results to emphasize
value of information to national audience
JAMA Article – Other Examples
• “Just got off the phone with an associate dean who was extolling the points you make…”
• “Article sent to me by one of our hospitalists, and we are now in talks about a pilot.”
• “A physician ripped it out of his own JAMA issue and handed it to me at today’s hospital grand rounds, which I coordinate.”
JAMA Article – Other Examples
• From a librarian who was laid off from a large regional teaching hospital in May 2013 – “I will send this article to my prior employer and ask that they reconsider the value of having professional medical librarians on their staff. What little cost reduction they achieved will just lead to increased costs elsewhere including potential loss of life.”
JAMA Article – Other Examples
• “We have shared it with our administrators and will be highlighting it throughout our institution for the National Medical Librarians Month.”
• “I am filled with joy. Below is an email I just sent to my CEO about the article. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.”
Use Value Study DATA
• Consider doing additional analyses
• Examples of using “time saved” data
• In two institutions, extrapolated to dollars saved
• Another institution used length of stay data and extrapolated to dollars saved
• Methodologies can differ. Make assumptions clear
Time Saved to Dollars Saved
• One participant institution
• With the most conservative assumptions, $1,179,552 per year saved
• One non-participant institution
• Used less conservative numbers, but in this hospital, $466,320 per year saved
Advanced Data Analysis• Multivariate analysis
• Used statistical models to examine the impact of using the library, librarian and library-provided databases on key outcome measures such as time saved, number of changes made to patient care and number of adverse events
• Good News: Using the librarian and coming to the physical library increased the number of positive outcomes as did accessing the databases via the access routes provided by the library
