In October, Canada Health Infoway funded CHLA/ABSC to undertake a "Phase 0" project to evaluate a proposed Virtual Health Library based within a National Network of Libraries for Health.
Phase 0 of the Canadian Virtual Health Library (CVHL) was completed in May 2008. Canada Health Infoway has accepted the Phase 0 deliverables which include the Environmental Scan, and the Feasibility Study and Readiness Assessment. The final Phase 0 deliverable, the Phase 1 proposal, has also been accepted for review/consideration.
Although there are no guarantees that CHI will move forward with a Phase 1 project, these documents give us a very solid base in planning for the full National Network of Libraries for Health. We welcome any comments or discussion through the NNLH discussion forum.
The CVHL task force has been reconfigured into a smaller transition team tasked with communicating with members and talking to potential partners about participation and funding.
The task force would like to thank CHI, the CVHL Steering Committee, and the members of CHLA.ABSC for their support.
