Knowledge is the enemy of disease Sir Muir Gray

2
The origin of the National Knowledge Service
  • UK culture when something goes wrong
  • We have a Public Inquiry eg
  • Kennedy Report 2002 which was a
  • Public Enquiry into Childrens Heart Surgery
    Bristol Royal Infirmary 1984 - 1995
  • Higher than average death rates and damage to
    young children undergoing heart surgery
  • Kennedy Report http//www.bristol-inquiry.org.uk/
  • Key factors were
  • Poor quality of information
  • Poor communication
  • Poor training
  • Lack of standards, and
  • Failure to put the patient at the centre of
    care

3
The origin of the National Knowledge Service
(continued)
  • As a result
  • The UK Secretary of State for Health announced
    the creation of the
  • National Knowledge Service in 2002
  • To support the delivery of high quality
    information for patients and staff

4
The National Knowledge Service is responsible for
  • Planning knowledge management
  • Describing knowledge needs in 2011
  • Working on the principle that
  • "The future is here. It's just not evenly
    distributed."
  • William Gibson
  • What will be in general use in 2011 can be seen
    somewhere already today

5
Current Knowledge Status
Knowledge is like water, clinicians and
professionals and patients need clean clear water
for good health. Muir Gray NKS
  • What we have
  • What we want
  • How we will manage it

6
National Knowledge Service why its needed

    providers
  • Department of Healths guidance and knowledge
    base, including
  • Care Service Improvement Partnership and the
  • Public Health Observatory
  • NHS Institute
  • National Institute of Health and Clinical
    Excellence (NICE)
  • National Patient Safety Agency
  • Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory
    Agency
  • NHS RD Programme
  • Health Protection Agency

guidance in a manner which is useful to
clinicians. Muir Grey NKS

National Knowledge Service
  • Information system as a supplement and extension
    of the human memory, delivering knowledge where
    and when it was needed
  • J A Muir Gray 2006 NKS

10
Functions of the National Knowledge Service
  • National Library for Health
  • The National Library for Health...aims to be
    the best, most trusted health related knowledge
    service in the world
  • Responsible for the organisation and gathering of
    knowledge
  • Provide the technical standards and solutions for
    knowledge to be delivered - where and when it is
    needed
  • Either as a result of
  • Pulling the information (direct search)
  • Pushed to them (RSS or blogs)

Functions of the National Knowledge Service
  • Best Current Evidence Service
  • Responsible for the
  • Production, and
  • Procurement (ie from others) of the evidence that
    both
  • Clinicians and patients need
  • Clinicians need evidenced knowledge to ensure
    robust clinical judgment for every patient in
    every part of the NHS
  • Patients need evidenced knowledge as Patients
    share responsibility for managing own health
    Expert Patient
  • Best current knowledge - http//www.nks.nhs.uk/be

13
Example of an Evidence Service
  • SCHIN (The Sowerby Centre for Health Informatics
    Newcastle)
  • Clinical Knowledge Summaries (CKS) are concise
    summaries on
  • How to manage almost 500 clinical situations
    (scenarios) commonly encountered in primary and
    first contact care
  • These are underpinned by detailed up-to-date
    clinical knowledge on acute and chronic
    conditions, and disease prevention
  • So whether you need a quick overview or the full
    text on a topic, CKS can help

    Institute (BSI) of International Standard ISO

Challenges
  • Expanding need for knowledge
  • Shrinking finance
  • Rapid digitisation
  • Expanding Continuing Professional Development for
    all health and support staff
  • Personalisation of this resource to meet
    individual/local needs
  • Contributing to the Patient Pathway (1st visit
    outcome), and
  • Reducing Organisational Risk
  • More competition
  • Complex networks
  • Information overload

18

19
Direction of travel (continued)
  • Integrated with intermediate services
  • The library will be available as part of a
    variety of other services, including

21
User design experienceThe process
  • LBi were commissioned to report on how people use
    the NLH for searching
  • They carried out an On-line Survey
  • 5 User groups identified
  • Nurses / Midwives / Health visitors
  • Consultants / Doctors /General Practitioners
  • Allied Health Professionals
  • Managers
  • Librarians
  • In-depth interviews with a sample of all these
    groups
  • at their place of work
  • looking at how they used the internet and NLH in
    particular
  • qualitative interviews, not quantitative
  • From this they built up personas, based on their
    style of searching this was not related to their
    roles
  • The personas will be used to inform current and
    future developments

22
Personas
  • Proactive Searchers those who had recently been
    engaged in study or research. They used NLH
    solely for searching and expected similar
    functionality to journal websites.
  • Wayfinders those who expected to be guided by
    what they saw on the home page, following links
    that they recognised. This approach to using the
    web relied on a high level of trust in content
    before exploration could take place. It has also
    been described as an orienteering approach (see
    Teevan et al , 2004). If wayfinders did choose to
    search deliberately they would expect the simple
    search to provide adequate results.
  • Knowledge Managers those interested in up to
    date information and a broad view across
    disciplines. Usually familiar with the NLH site
    and all supporting information sources. Would
    tend to personalise the NLH website and use it as
    a central hub directing them to known sources
    rather using the NLH for searching. This group
    would include librarians.
  • Email Searchers those who had minimal time to
    spend searching for online information and relied
    on information to be pushed to them via email
    alerts or bulletins.
