Healthcare information provider Wolters Kluwer Health (WK Health), US, has announced an expanded partnership with the University of Adelaide's Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). JBI is an international producer of evidence-based practice (EBP) resources and tools.
Ovid, part of WK Health, will be the exclusive channel for JBI's complete EBP solution on its OvidSP and Nursing@Ovid research platforms. These platforms are used by more than 12,500 institutions globally.
Through the partnership, current JBI members will have dual access to their resources on OvidSP, which offers robust searching and productivity tools, as well as JBI's COnNECT+ (Clinical Online Network of Evidence for Care and Therapeutics) platform. With the addition of JBI, Ovid’s customers will have access to a comprehensive, aggregated solution of leading EBP resources, supporting improved patient care and clinical outcomes.
JBI's comprehensive full-text resources organised by clinical specialty include Systematic Reviews; Evidence Summaries; Recommended Practices; Best Practice Information Sheets; and Consumer Information Sheets. JBI's suite of online tools assists physicians, nurses, researchers, students, and policymakers to adopt EBP methodologies to effectively search the evidence, appraise the evidence, implement the evidence and evaluate outcomes and the impact on practice change.
Wolters Kluwer Health and JBI formalised the exclusive partnership in 2010, to collaborate on providing broader access to evidence-based clinical information through its global platforms, beginning with select JBI content on Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW) nursingcenter.com. The partnership is now expanding to provide the full suite of JBI resources on OvidSP.
