Abstract

Healthcare organizations strive to improve the quality of patient care. Numerous measures, such as Evidence-Based Practice, Evidence-Based Management, Magnet Status, Shared Governance, and Patient Safety, rely on current, reliable, and authoritative information to support clinical decision-making. This article discusses the importance of Knowledge-Based Information and the role of the qualified librarian in the provision of resources as it relates to these important quality measures.
