Following the passage and implementation of the Affordable Care Act
(ACA), librarians are more frequently called upon to provide
assistance with navigating the Health Insurance Marketplace and
understanding health insurance terminology and forms. Libraries
offer an ideal context for health insurance information seeking, as
librarians have traditionally assisted with completing public
assistance forms and are well-trained in ascertaining and meeting
information needs. This book is designed to serve as a practical
guide for librarians seeking to learn more about the ACA; locate
authoritative, nonbiased information regarding the ACA; and serve
patrons searching for ACA information for personal or research
purposes. While the book focuses specifically on the unique role
that health sciences librarians play in serving the general public,
health care providers, biomedical researchers, and health sciences
students, the book contains guidance relevant to any information
professional working with ACA information. Tailored to a librarian
audience, this authoritative guide from the Medical Library
Association begins with a general introduction to the Affordable
Care Act, highlighting the aspects of the ACA legislation most
pertinent to librarians. The following chapter focuses on the role
of the librarian in relation to ACA implementation. Next, a chapter
on health insurance literacy provides a foundation for those
seeking to familiarize themselves with research on individuals'
understanding of health insurance concepts. The following chapter
builds on this foundation, discussing how a librarian can breakdown
an ACA question, including a step-by-step guide. The last part of
the book focuses on trends in ACA and health insurance information
provision. It begins with a general overview of the types of ACA
information services librarians are providing. Next, ten librarians
are highlighted as case studies of the types on information
services provided by health sciences librarians responding to ACA
information needs. These chapters are designed to serve as
springboards for those librarians interested in learning best
practices and recommendations. The last chapter contains an
authoritative list of recommended, unbiased ACA resources. This
annotated bibliography is an excellent place for librarians to
familiarize themselves with ACA logistical information as well as
locate authoritative resources on insurance terminology. As
librarians are increasingly being called upon to address health
insurance information needs from the general public as well as
researchers, this text provides concrete, helpful advice in
providing unbiased, evidence-based answers.
