About HIRC Our resources are primarily Internet-based, and are provided for persons affiliated with Tobago Healthcare Services. We hope, however, that information on our web-page will enable other healthcare providers, as well as the general public, to more easily benefit from the wealth of free information on the Internet for current health issues, treatment and promotion. In February 1999, the Reading Room of the Tobago Regional Health Authority (TRHA) was upgraded, relocated to a larger facility, and renamed The Healthcare Information Resources Centre (HIRC). Within three months, staffing expanded from one person to three; a local area network was installed; and services were established for Internet-based healthcare textbooks, journals and databases. The vision of the Healthcare Information Resources Centre is to focus on the delivery of a quality, cost-effective and a timely healthcare information service which will support, facilitate and maximise the provision of optimal healthcare to patients and promote healthy living for the general population. The mission of the Healthcare Information Resources Centre is to promote and deliver a client-focused, cost-effective and efficient quality healthcare information service in an equitable manner, by staff committed to excellence and professionalism. |
