Healthcare information provider Wolters Kluwer Health (WK Health), US, has announced an exclusive partnership with the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), a recognised global leader in evidence-based healthcare resources based at the University of Adelaide, Australia. The move is part of an expansion of the nursing, allied health, and medical content delivered to customers of products in the Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW) journals and Ovid brands.
Under this agreement, LWW and Ovid will deliver JBI COnNECT+ (Clinical Online Network of Evidence for Care and Therapeutics) to its global clinical point-of-care services market immediately, with an expansion into all markets beginning in October 2012. JBI COnNECT+ is JBI's web portal for content and user tools designed to assist healthcare providers to access, appraise, and use evidence-based information in clinical decision-making processes. In addition, LWW and Ovid are now the exclusive global channels for online access to an expanded version of JBI's PACEsetterS publication, which brings the latest advances in evidence-based practice information, audit and implementation for healthcare providers and consumers.
This is the first step in a deeper long-term collaboration between JBI, LWW, and Ovid focusing on opportunities to further develop and integrate JBI content and tools into multiple Wolters Kluwer Health destinations.
