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. Many of the documents simply link to an external guideline that has been adopted for use at NHW. The Prompt database can be searched from the quick links on the NHW intranet homepage. Registration for offsite access is available if you have access to NHW email at home.
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.
