Databases for Evidence Based Practice in Allied Health at NHW

 

 

 

 

 

Prompt is your first stop for Clinical Reference Documents at NHW.  It is NHW's document management portal for policy, procedures and guidelines and also contains forms, templates, checklists and other documents. The Prompt database can be searched from the quick links on the NHW intranet homepage   

You can register for offsite access if you have access to NHW email at home.  Many of the documents simply link to an external guideline that has been adopted for use at NHW.

JBI

The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) is NHW's preferred next stop for policy, procedure and guidelines. JBI is one of the world's leading evidence-based practice (EBP) organisations. JBI's evidence-based practice resources assist healthcare professionals to implement an effective evidence-based practice program to provide the best possible patient care.

Can't find it?  

Move to the next tabs and try the point-of care tools, or search the Evidence Based databases for reviews, or consult your Librarian.

Point of Care Tools are clinical overviews for diagnosis & treatment designed for clinicians to quickly look up information when they are with a patient.  They are summaries of evidence from peer reviewed sources and are updated regularly by specialty experts.  Some also contain a variety of resources from primary source (eg. Medline) searches to eBooks and eJournals, guidelines,  images and videos.  For more pharmacological resources - Mims, AMH, etc., use the Drug Resources tab at the top of this page.
