Hospitals in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts were surveyed to establish some ranges and baseline statistics for hospital medical information resources. The data were evaluated in terms of theoretical compliance with the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals standards as well as the more specific proposed appendices to the Canadian Standards for Hospital Libraries. The study quantifies hospital library resources and services in a state with a substantial number of acute care facilities. Of the study universe, 67.6% were judged as meeting either the revised JCAH or the Canadian criteria. The central finding is that the 100- to 299-bed institutions reflect a significant number of deficiencies when evaluated against either quantitative or nonquantitative standards. Further areas of study are suggested.
对马萨诸塞州联邦的医院进行了调查，以确定医院医学信息资源的一些范围和基线统计数据。根据理论上符合医院评审联合委员会标准以及加拿大医院图书馆标准更具体的拟议附录对数据进行了评估。该研究对一个拥有大量急症护理设施的州的医院图书馆资源和服务进行了量化。在研究总体中，67.6%被判定符合修订后的JCAH标准或加拿大标准。核心发现是，在根据定量或非定量标准进行评估时，拥有100至299张床位的机构存在大量不足之处。还提出了进一步的研究领域。
