Using benchmarking practices for the learning resource center.
Structured ongoing and systematic evaluation is required to ensure up-to-date resources and continuous quality improvement plans to meet the learning needs of the diverse student population and the complex needs of patients. Using benchmarking to achieve evaluation goals in the learning resource center has great merit as schools of nursing respond to consumer demand for improvement, rapid changes resulting from changing patient needs, and the technology explosion.
