Abstract
The Center for Families Resource Library at St. Louis Children's Hospital was integrated into the hospital's new Epic electronic medical records system in June 2018. The new system enables clinicians to request consults from the Center for Families Resource Library. The librarian can participate more actively and collaboratively with patient education by providing reliable health information and charting it as part of the patient's permanent record. The article reviews improvements over the former system and reveals an enhanced role for the health services librarian.Entities:
