The Resource Center & Library will:
- Continually develop and update the library collections
- Reach out to members via an electronic newsletter (What's NeWWW) and via other methods to inform of new research in: best practices; quality improvement; patient safety; critical evaluation of health information; federal and state initiatives in health information technology; the formation of comparable regional collaborative organizations (e.g. RHIOs) in other parts of the country and abroad.
- Employ creative approaches in services and resources, utilizing new technologies and information formats, with a particular emphasis in enabling remote access to the Collections and our services.
