JBI COnNECT (Clinical Online Network of Evidence for Care and Therapeutics) is a web based facility consisting of a range of specialist sections developed and maintained by the Joanna Briggs Institute. It provides online resources and tools to assist health professionals (general practitioners, nurses, allied health professionals, managers), aged care providers and others involved in care to utilise evidence based information in clinical decision-making processes at the point of care. JBI COnNECT provides users with resources and tools to search, appraise, summarise, embed, utilise and evaluate evidence based information. JBI COnNECT is an online gateway to a collection of evidence-based resources and tools designed to assist in the clinical decision-making process and to support best practice. This program provides participants with an overview of the JBI COnNECT facility. Participants are provided with a synopsis of the role of evidence based practice in care and how evidence is linked to accreditation. Participants will also be shown how to navigate around each component of JBI COnNECT.
