A survey (“Impact of Library Information Resources on Patient Care”) was
undertaken as part of a (2021) project for the Health Services Executive
(Ireland). It demonstrated clear evidence for the value and impact of
library services (in general) on patient care and the savings library
services delivered in terms of things like avoidance of hospital
admission or re-admission, more accurate and timely diagnosis etc etc.
It didn't measure the impact of literature searches on their own
although this service was identified as one of the key services.
There is a summary of the project and survey here:

HSE staff may be able to provide more information including about
literature searches in particular
Very best
