Using Information and Knowledge Technologies to Practice Evidence-based Rehabilitation Psychology

Abstract

When stakes are high, decisions critical, and time short, the knowledge resources provided here focus on enabling clinicians to rapidly access and retrieve the evidence needed to identify appropriate clinical strategies. These days, clinical questions or information deficits occur at the point of need, at the bedside, in the emergency department, even in the hospital hallway, rather than in a traditional brick and mortar library. Thus, it is likely librarians or informationists are already clinical team members: rounding, attending morning report, teaching, and answering queries as they arise. This chapter addresses how to get the evidence you need, when you need it, rapidly—at your fingertips in real time. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)
