The medical librarian in a hospital contributes to the quality of patient care by building a library which can provide promptly the information needed by all members of the treatment team, including medical and paramedical persons. The librarian is meeting his responsibility to the patient when he performs the duties of selecting materials, cataloging these materials speedily and thoroughly, and giving reference service to library users. An excellent hospital library and the services of a knowledgeable librarian can be a significant factor in the medical team's ability to provide superior patient care.
医院的医学图书馆员通过建立一个能够迅速提供治疗团队所有成员（包括医务人员和辅助医务人员）所需信息的图书馆，为患者护理质量做出贡献。当图书馆员履行选择资料、迅速且全面地对这些资料进行编目以及为图书馆用户提供参考服务的职责时，他就在履行对患者的责任。一个出色的医院图书馆以及一位知识渊博的图书馆员的服务，可能是医疗团队提供优质患者护理能力的一个重要因素。
