2014 Charleston Library Conference

We will present a summary of the findings from Wolters Kluwer Health's updated (2014) market research project focused on how end user workflows and work patterns continue to change and evolve as mobile devices become more common in clinical settings. Specifically, we will contemplate how specific use cases fit with specific devices, the perceived effect of multiple screens on usage, and how different content types are valued from a relative perspective in a mobile environment. After presenting the historical trends that can be pulled from the data, the panel, which includes a hospital librarian, will attempt to forecast how market patterns, clinical users’ demands and behavior can be forecast and aligned.
