Objectives: Access to high-quality information improves the quality of patient care, but lack of time and sufficient skills in information seeking can prevent access to information by clinicians. To solve this problem, clinical informationists can provide high-quality, filtered information for clinical team members. This study identified the core competencies that clinical informationists need to effectively fulfill their roles on clinical teams.
Methods: Participants were selected purposefully from clinicians and medical librarians. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using qualitative content analysis.
Results: The authors identified six competencies-communication, research, education and training, domain knowledge, information services, and technology-which together were used to develop a "CREDIT" model of core competencies for clinical informationists.
Conclusions: The CREDIT model can be used as criteria for evaluating the performance of clinical informationists as well as for developing and assessing clinical informationist educational programs and curriculums.

- IBD patients who stop anti-TNF therapy face a high relapse rate of 44%, with specific rates for IBD-UC at 43% and IBD-CD at 46%.
- Studies indicate that the risk of relapse is higher (51%) for those who were treated for 12 months or less compared to a lower rate (30%) for those treated longer than 12 months.
- These findings highlight the importance of monitoring these patients closely and exploring alternative treatments for those not responding well to anti-TNF therapy.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) refers to the presence of hepatic steatosis (accumulation of fat in the liver to over 5% of its weight) in the absence of secondary causes of fat accumulation in the liver such as excessive alcohol use. NAFLD is divided into two types: non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Therefore, in this clinical guideline, we sought to determine general and important policies for this disease and modify its managment approaches.
