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. |
