information, where they found it, how often they looked for it and how they used it to make clinical decisions. This research was done based on the fact that health information systems are still a challenge in Zambia. It was carried out at the University Teaching Hospital of Zambia, which caters to a high urban population within the capital city of Lusaka and presents good case for the need for evidence based health information to enable appropriate clinical decision making. Results showed that 95% of the nurses used research information during clinical practice. This was no way related to their work roles, experience or level of professional training. The researchers noted that there was a big role for health librarians to play in ensuring that evidence based information was made available to the nurses. Comments and Questions 1. What is referred to as Clinical practice? This refers to the actual place where the nurses work. 2. How did the researchers gain access to the nurses? Permission was sought for from the Hospital Administration and the nurses who participated in the research. 3. What type of research information was being referred to? This referred to all research information relevant to their work whether national or international.

The project enabled clinicians to appreciate the role an information/knowledge broker plays in enabling them have access to information which will enable them respond within various situations of their clinical work.

Mr. Vincent Kole (L) made this oral presentation while Mr. Consider Mudenda (R) used a poster presentation to provide additional information Comments and Questions 1. Presentation needed to define use of the words “outcome” and “impact” 2. What was meant by “call handling”? Patients are allowed to call health workers especially during emergency situations.
