DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A report of the Institute of Medicine in 1995 described a number of challenges facing Health Services Research, including the limited availability of crucial data required to describe current trends in health care, and predict and track the consequences of these trends. Just as health informatics research has addressed physicians' and patients' access to and understanding of clinical data and medical knowledge, the field of informatics is well-positioned to address the related information needs issues for researchers. Understanding the information needs of clinicians and patients has been fundamental to the success of informatics research towards developing valuable resources for these information-hungry groups. A similar study of the information needs of researchers will also provide a framework for improving information systems to help researchers access, manage and analyze their data with greater efficiency. Since the outcome of research forms the evidence base used by clinicians, patients and policy-makers, this endeavor will impact many facets of healthcare delivery. The proposed study initiates a series of investigations to examine researcher information needs. This study will analyze the nature of researcher information needs in terms of the kinds of questions posed, the sources used to find answers, the specific data elements sought and the success with which these needs are addressed. Although the specific information needs of researchers are different from those of patients or physicians, the lessons learned through prior informatics work that addressed clinician and patient needs should be valuable in the study of research information needs Similar to early studies of clinician information needs that focused on a single type of provider, this study will limit its examination of information needs to those of the Health Services Researcher. This information needs evaluation will be accomplished through completion of the following specific aims, based on the goals of earlier and more recent studies of information needs: 1) Develop an inventory of research information needs. What questions are being asked, what sources are being used to address the needs, what are the unmet information needs? 2) Determine patterns of association among the elements of the inventory. 3) Describe differences in the inventory of information needs in the 1988-1989 period and 1998-1999 period reflecting the pre-world wide web era and the present time. The significance of this research inquiry is that, analogous to the clinical domain, a greater understanding of research information needs will help to address variation and inefficiencies in the conduct of research, particularly involving data collection, and help create information sources and interfaces that better support the research process.

描述（由申请人提供）： 1995年医学研究所的报告描述了许多挑战 面对卫生服务研究，包括关键的有限可用性 描述医疗保健当前趋势所需的数据，并预测和跟踪 这些趋势的后果。就像健康信息学研究一样 解决了医生和患者的临床访问和理解 数据和医学知识，信息学领域的位置很好 解决研究人员的相关信息需求问题。 了解临床医生和患者的信息需求 信息学研究成功发展有价值的基础 这些渴望群体的资源。类似的研究 研究人员的信息需求还将提供改进的框架 帮助研究人员访问，管理和分析其数据的信息系统 提高效率。由于研究结果构成了证据基础 临床医生，患者和政策制定者使用，这项工作将影响许多 医疗保健交付方面。 拟议的研究启动了一系列研究以检查研究人员 信息需求。这项研究将分析研究人员的性质 关于提出的问题的信息需求，所使用的来源 为了找到答案，特定的数据要素寻求和成功 这些需求已得到满足。尽管特定信息需求的需求 研究人员与患者或医生不同，课程 通过先前的信息学工作来了解临床医生和患者 在研究研究信息需求的研究中，需求应该很有价值 类似于对临床医生信息需求的早期研究，重点是 单一类型的提供商，本研究将限制其信息检查 需要卫生服务研究人员的人。此信息需要 评估将通过完成以下特定 目的，基于早期和较新的信息研究的目标 需求：1）制定研究信息需求清单。什么问题 被问到，什么来源被用来满足需求，什么是 未满足的信息需求？ 2）确定缔合模式 库存的要素。 3）描述库存中的差异 1988- 1989年和1998 - 1999年的信息需求反映了 世界前的网络时代和当前时间。 这项研究询问的重要性是，类似于临床 域，对研究信息需求的更深入了解将有助于 解决研究的差异和效率低下，特别是 涉及数据收集，并帮助创建信息源和接口 这样可以更好地支持研究过程。
