Medical University Library To Carry Out EBM Service Analysis

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is a medicine that is based on scientific evidence. It is a new clinical medical model emerged in the early 1990s. EBM’s essential theory is that any clinical decision or implementation of medical service polices is based on evidence. That is, with the guidance of the latest reliable scientific research findings, doctors will diagnose and treat the diseases properly, experts will make out safe and effective diagnosis and treatment norms, the government will make out corresponding medical service policies, etc. Currently evidence-based medicine has been widely recognized in medical science, it has been the clinical staff’s new clinical behavior patterns, have drawn the attention of the governments and eventually benefit the patients.The key point of EBM is evidence which is the foundation to conduct clinical practice of EBM. Only being exposed to the latest scientific evidence could clinical medical staff grasp advanced medical knowledge, guide clinical decisions and better serve the patients. Those medical information workers could skilled use of medical information resources and provide medical evidence which is scientific, true, reliable and could be widely applied to provide medical information service of wider, deeper and higher level. Development of EBM has broken new ground and unlimited the developing space for medical information service. School libraries of the medical universities possess the naturally endowed advantage to provide EBM information service. To satisfy the increasing demands for service, it is necessary for medical college libraries to find out the sustainable developed strategy of providing EBM service. Strengthening librarians’ sense of providing service, transforming passive service into active one, Rich service content, explore the service mode, strengthening the construction of library information resources and human resources is the guarantee of the implementation of EBM service.This thesis studies the current conditions of providing EBM information service both at home and abroad by stating the relationship between EBM and literature retrieval as well as medical colleges’ advantage to provide EBM information service. What’s more, it analyzes clinical doctors’ demands for EBM service by Chinese clinical doctors’ knowledge about EBM nowadays and practical conditions of EBM application based on which, it further point out the content of EBM service that medical universities would provide and detailed implementing methods. Finally, this thesis has a discussion on the issues related to constructing service security system in medical university libraries to implement EBM service.
