The administrators and practitioners that operate these centers must be cognizant of a broad spectrum of topics including clinical care, administrative and financial manage- ment, and health promotion. They need to know what materials are available on these and related topics and how to obtain them. The National Clearinghouse for Primary Care Information has compiled this select bibliography to assist health care professionals working in BHCDA-supported projects in locating and obtaining relevant resources. SCOPE The Bibliography describes publications on health care administration, clinical care, and health promotion and disease prevention in ambulatory care settings. Reports, bibliographies, handbooks, manuals, and directories are included. Emphasis has been placed on selecting publications that offer practical guidance orin- formation applicable to the development or ongoing operation of a Federally funded primary care project. Each entry in the bibliography includes the title, author (if applicable), an annotation, publication date, pagina- tion, and ordering information. ARRANGEMENT The entries are grouped in six broad subject sections fol- lowed by appendices and indexes: Program Development. Contains publications that describe the development of an ambulatory care program, including needs assessment, strategic plan- ning, recruitment, and marketing. Program Administration.

When attached to a modem, a computer terminal can become a quick and convenient route to vast amounts of information and numerous resources. Health professionals can use computers to access information about recent studies, learn about new drug approvals, borrow a book from the AMA library, take a continuing education course or communicate with other health professionals—including the Surgeon General. Practitioners in rural areas may especially appreciate the ready access to up-to-date information resources and professional communications previously available only to those who practiced in or near large cities. Through the use of commercial computer networks, location is no longer a hindrance to good information. COMPUTER NETWORK SERVICES Many leading information publishers have developed computer-searchable versions of their products and made them available as databases to subscribers. Oc- casionally the producer, the organization which creates or owns the database, will offer online access directly to subscribers. More often, a vendor that has licensed the database from the producer and has a host computer facility will offer access (producers may act as vendors). By subscribing to a vendor’s service a user is able to access the databases which that vendor makes available. Accessing Data. There are various ways to search the databases of computer network services. Search ser- vices can be obtained at online centers at libraries, hospitals, medical schools and universities. Individuals also provide online search services for a fee, as do some information clearinghouses. A list of clearinghouses and information centers is provided in Appendix E. In addition, a search can be conducted from a subscriber’s office or home if a compatible terminal or microcomputer and the proper communications linkage to the network is available. New services (i.e., Easynet) and software (i.e., GRATEFUL MED and Paperchase) are available that are user-friendly and are designed for the end user. Such services and software make it pos- sible for the non-information professional, such as a health practitioner or administrator, to search the com- puterized literature on their own. Most of these systems do not offer the breadth of precision that is available in a full online literature search performed by a professional information specialist, but they do let the user quickly tap into important databases. Retrieving Information. Vendors develop unique search features to enable the user to combine relevant terms or concepts. The result is a retrieval of document citations or the actual text of those documents in a minimal amount of time. Database producers often work jointly with vendors to structure and format databases to permit the most comprehensive and flexible information retrieval. Requested portions of retrieved records can be printed or displayed at the terminal, or the document can be printed by the vendor and mailed, usually within a 24-hour period. Services. Each vendor provides a variety of special user services such as training, 24-hour access, user-friendly access to databases, and storage of search profiles to automatically run whenever the database(s) specified is updated. Search strategies and techniques are different for each network service. Also, each database has or- ganized its data into unique fields of information. Therefore, most database producers also provide a thesaurus of descriptor terms by which to access the information in its database. What's Available. An essential step in acomprehensive online search is aknowledge of data sources and options available. The following listings will provide an aware- ness of the type and scope of data available to profes- sionals in the healthcare community interested or active in the retrieval of online information. Several of the major vendors of online services and some of the smaller vendors offering access to data of special 71 Appendix C—On-Line Information Services interest to health professionals are described first. Fol- lowing that is a list of healthcare-related databases and vendor(s) that offers access to that database. VENDORS Vendors are continually increasing their services, and the databases they make available to their subscribers. Some of the vendors providing information of interest to health professionals are described below. BRS Information Technologies This commercial service offers access to information in the fields of medicine, the biosciences, education, science, health business, politics, social sciences, and related interdisciplinary areas. Accessible through many public and academic libraries, patrons may re- quest a search on a specific topic. Health professionals who want to do their own searching may subscribe to a user-friendly system called BRS/Colleague which can be used without previous computer experience. One other service, BRS/After Dark is also designed for the "end user," although not necessarily health profes- sionals, and can be accessed in the evenings at a lower rate than the daytime services. For information on subscribing to BRS services, call (800) 468-0908. COMPUSERVE Sometimes referred to as an information utility, this commercial service offers a variety of databases and bulletin boards.

There are 21 databases/databanks created by or available from NLM which make up MEDLARS. Probably the best known is MEDLINE. A few of these databases are available through commercial vendors, but most are available through a nationwide network of online centers located in hospitals, medical schools, universities and businesses. These MEDLARS online centers and individual searches are supported by Regional Medical Libraries (see Appendix D for a list- ing). Forinformation on becoming an online center, call (800) 638-8480. NMRP/MSRTS - National Migrant Referral Project/Migrant Student Record Transfer System NMRP/MSRTS provides migrant health centers with access to health data of migrant children from the MSRTS database. It is primarily used to obtain im- munization information, although other data are avail- able. A toll-free telephone system allows for inquiry about a child’s health record. For information call NMRP at (800) 531-5120.

DATABASES The chart beginning on page 70 provides a sampling of the scores of bibliographic databases available in the health field and indentifies the producer(s), vendor(s), and subject matter covered by each database. Each vendor can be contacted to provide a catalog listing all of the databases they make accessible. Also, refer- ences exist that provide guidance to online databases in the healthcare field.
