Introduction to Information Literacy in Evidence Care Workshop

Synopsis

In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, researchers and clinicians grapple with unique questions pertinent to patient care, demanding the acquisition of expert skills for effective evidence search and evaluation. The contemporary healthcare arena necessitates advanced capabilities in information retrieval and assessment, making it imperative for both researchers and clinicians to cultivate proficiency in these areas.

This introductory workshop offers both clinicians and researchers a holistic approach, delving into expert search skills while incorporating advanced techniques in data collection, extraction, and screening to fortify the research methodology.

Proficient literature review not only enhances evidence-based care but also directly impacts positive patient outcomes. To further enrich the learning experience, an innovative smartphone delivered AI tool in the form of a chatbot is introduced; the Rileybot.

Developed collaboratively by the medical library and faculty from LKCMedicine, Rileybot serves as an unparalleled resource, complementing the workshop's objectives and providing invaluable assistance to learners on their information literacy journey.

By equipping both researchers and clinicians with essential skills in information literacy and evidence-based medicine, the workshop addresses the evolving needs of healthcare practices in today's dynamic environment.
