Patient Safety: MLA Position Statement
Are you interested in new roles for librarians, or in adding a new dimension to your library practice? Check out MLA’s “Role of Health Sciences Librarians in Patient Safety Position Statement” (http://www.mlanet.org/government/positions/patient-safety.html). This statement does a great job of explaining the issues in patient safety that librarians can and should address, and presents several partnership opportunities for librarians. The statement also suggests several ways to get involved. A good bibliography to start your reading on the issue is included. (bbj)
