Advocate Health has Six Pledges that are a road map for our success as a combined organization. Over the next few months, we are showing how the Advocate Health - Midwest Library supports each of these pledges. The pledge we are highlighting this month is to Improve Affordability.
Advocate Health understands that care is only as good as it is accessible, and we are addressing costs to make care more affordable and accessible to our underserved patients. The goal is to eliminate waste, improve patient outcome and maintain safe practices.
Librarians provide literature search services to teammates who request information on innovations in service delivery, safety review of potential treatments and cost benefit analysis. The Library provides resources to help teammates learn guidelines and sources of best practices.
