ABSTRACT This article documents the Health Libraries for the National Standards (HeLiNS) research project. The project received the ALIA 2016 research award and was undertaken by a collaboration of the ALIA/Health Libraries Australia and Health Libraries Inc groups. The research aimed to explore the contributions made by Australian hospital libraries to assist their organisations to achieve accreditation against the National Safety and Quality for Health Services (NSQHS) Standards. The research clearly demonstrates that hospital libraries are integral to a hospital’s quality and safety systems. They make substantial and essential contributions through their professional information/knowledge management services and by ensuring access to evidence-based resources. The research found that there are varying levels of contributions, however, and it is suggested that these differences may be influenced by variables such as location and size of hospital. It is further suggested that for hospitals without a library service, or those with libraries that have limited capacity to deliver professional services and resources, there is likely to be an ‘evidence-accessibility gap’, and they may be at risk and not performing as well as they could in regard to NSQHS accreditation standards, and safety and quality systems.

医院图书馆馆员对卫生服务认证的贡献：卫生图书馆对国家卫生服务标准安全和质量（HeLiNS）研究项目的描述，2016-18

摘要本文记录了国家标准健康图书馆（HeLiNS）的研究项目。该项目获得了2016年ALIA研究奖，由ALIA /澳大利亚健康图书馆和Health Libraries Inc集团合作进行。该研究旨在探讨澳大利亚医院图书馆为协助其组织获得《国家卫生服务质量和质量》（NSQHS）标准的认可而做出的贡献。该研究清楚地表明，医院图书馆是医院质量和安全体系不可或缺的一部分。他们通过其专业的信息/知识管理服务，并确保获得基于证据的资源，做出了重要的实质性贡献。研究发现，贡献水平不同，但是，并且建议这些差异可能受到变量的影响，例如医院的位置和规模。进一步建议，对于没有图书馆服务的医院，或者图书馆提供专业服务和资源的能力有限的医院，可能存在“证据可及性缺口”，并且它们可能处于危险之中并且无法在以及他们在NSQHS认证标准，安全和质量体系方面的能力。
