The Sutter Medical Librarians are known for the speed that we deliver information (articles, book chapters, literature search results), and the accuracy and quality of the information provided. The Ask the Librarian online request forms are available on the MySutter intranet and One Search portal. Requests are filled according to priority (Urgent, Rush, or Normal). The libraries do not lend, buy, or borrow print books for clinical staff. However, the medical library staff in Palo Alto and Burlingame facilitate lending print books upon request from our business, health, and leadership collection. Throughout the year, medical librarians orient and educate clinicians, healthcare professionals, and inter-professional teams about library services and resources to support their research, clinical, and educational endeavors. Librarian assistance has always been rapid, accurate, thorough, and providing exactly what I requested. This is immensely helpful for patient care and coordination of care with my colleagues. I am sure this service improves the quality of care and patient satisfaction . Dhara MacDermed, M.D.

The librarians provide superb service and use judgement that makes the material most relevant and not just the "churning" that I have experienced using search engines, AI, or medical document resources. Gordon Ray, M.D.

The following quotes regarding AI use are from Google’s Chief Clinical Officer, Dr. Michael Howell.
AI Gas Lighting “AI has learned to do things very well to a high degree of accuracy; however, then it suddenly gives you exactly the wrong answer.” “In any domain there is a concept called automation bias when people trust the thing that comes out of a machine, and within healthcare this is a really important patient safety issue.” Hallucinations “AI models just predict the next plausible word; they are not looking up things in PubMed. The thing we worry about now is that people are over-relying on these tools and may not realize they need to double check and make sure the citations it is giving them really do exist ”.
Note: Your medical librarians can assist you in verifying AI-Generated citations and information.
