Toward hospital library standards in Canada.

M A Flower

    Bulletin of the Medical Library Association
    |July 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    New Canadian hospital library standards, detailed in the 1977 Guide to Hospital Accreditation, offer differential minimal standards based on hospital function, not just size. These standards aid library development and impact accreditation visits.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Sciences Information
    • Library Science
    • Healthcare Administration

    Background:

    • Canadian hospital library standards were recently developed and incorporated into the 1977 Guide to Hospital Accreditation.
    • Existing standards were compared with Medical Library Association (MLA) recommendations to the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals.
    • The development process of these new standards is outlined.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on the newly developed Canadian hospital library standards.
    • To compare these standards with existing MLA recommendations.
    • To examine a Quebec model for hospital classification that informs differential library standards.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of Canadian standards and MLA recommendations.
    • Examination of a hospital classification model from Quebec.
    • Discussion of the application of minimal standards for hospital library development.

    Main Results:

    • A new model for hospital classification, based on function, was developed.
    • Differential minimal library standards were established, varying by hospital function rather than solely by size.
    • The new standards provide a practical framework for developing hospital libraries.

    Conclusions:

    • The new Canadian hospital library standards, informed by hospital function, offer a practical approach to library development.
    • These standards have significant implications for hospital accreditation visits.
    • The Quebec model's contribution to differential standards is a key advancement.
