Improve Chronic Disease Oral Case Presentations in WWAMI
The University of Washington Office of Rural Affairs partnered with the UW Health Sciences Library to create a series of online Ambulatory Scripts. Accessed by mobile phone, the cards provide medical students and preceptors oral case presentation training during clinical encounters in rural clinics. Electronic cue cards allow students to work more effectively and harness the power of technology.

Enhance Asynchronous Learning Objects to Increase Online Support, Accessibility, and Productivity
Librarians are rapidly adapting to a remote or hybrid learning environment post-pandemic. Librarians will create and update the Health Sciences Library’s tutorials, guides, and handouts. The goal is to enhance access to asynchronous learning objects so that they are accessible online to all users.

Collaborate with HCA to Promote Shared Decision-Making Tools to HEALWA
Shared decision making (SDM) allows patients and providers to make health care decisions together. It takes into account what is important to the patient -- and clinical evidence -- so the patient can choose what is right for them. The Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA) is a leader in advancing SDM and Washington State is the first state to pass legislation around SDM. SDM is a key component of multiple Washington State priorities including health equity, maternity care and high-value care. HEALWA shares these priorities and will work to promote and make available tools developed by the HCA.

These goals were developed by the individual departments and Management Team. UW Health Sciences Library would like to acknowledge the support and partnership of Advancement, UW Medicine, UW Facilities, Office of Rural Medicine, Health Sciences Administration, and all our institutional partners for their collaboration as we move forward to achieve these goals in order to optimize resources and improve access to welcoming and useful spaces.
