Description

INTRODUCTION Rapid changes in health care have presented the health care community with a number of challenges. In 2007, the American College of Healthcare Executives outlined the top ten issues confronting chief executive officers (CEOs) [1]. In 2008, the National Priorities Partnership, a collaborative effort of major national health care organizations, was convened by the National Quality Forum to address health care challenges and set priorities. The partnership--which includes the Joint Commission, Institute of Medicine, Hospital Quality Alliance, National Institutes of Health, American Nurses Association, and American Board of Medical Specialties, among others--outlined six priorities in its study for transforming the health care system and identified the drivers of transformation that will enable the health care system to achieve these bold goals [2]. Access to and retrieval of knowledge-based information is essential for at least three of the six drivers cited by the partnership, specifically, "performance measurement," "knowledge and research dissemination," and "professional development."
