The MLA Vital Pathways Task Force is charged to review existing data and trends in the status of hospital librarians, collect data on the links between libraries and quality and financial outcomes, and develop an action plan for MLA to use this information to influence hospital decision-makers and key leaders in the health care field.The following resources are a first step in helping hospital librarians communicate with other leaders in their institutions about the true value of librarians and library services.

Two of the many tools available on the Vital Pathways website:

Brochure: Medical Librarians Raise the Hospital Bottom Line
This brochure is available for you to download, adjust, and brand with your own library information. Inform your administrators how you as a medical librarian impact patient safety, cost savings, and more.

Brochure: How to Talk to Your Hospital Administrator
