Needs as perceived by healthcare providers

Overview

‘Information needs assessments’ typically ask healthcare providers themselves about what information they have, what they find most useful, and what information they would like to have.

Quotes from the literature


“In all the places visited, there was also an overwhelming expressed need for different types of information relating to the professional or personal needs of health care workers.”
