JBI’s approach to evidence-based healthcare is unique. JBI considers #EBHC as decision-making that considers the feasibility, appropriateness, meaningfulness and effectiveness (FAME) of healthcare practices. Read below to learn more about the JBI Model of EBHC.
The inner circle represents the pebble of knowledge while the inner wedges provide JBI’s conceptualisation of the steps involved in the process of achieving an evidence-based approach to clinical decision-making.
The outer wedges operationalise the component parts of the Model and articulate how they might be actioned in a pragmatic way. The arrows indicate that the flow can be bi-directional.
JBI believes that evidence-based healthcare should be driven by the needs of global health. The achievement of improved global health is seen as both the goal (or endpoint) & the ‘driving force’ of evidence-based healthcare.
The evidence generation wedge of the Model identifies discourse (or narrative), experience and research as legitimate means of knowledge generation.
Evidence synthesis is the evaluation or analysis and collation of research evidence and opinion on a specific topic to aid in decision-making in healthcare. The three main components of this wedge are systematic reviews, evidence summaries and guidelines.
Fundamental to the process of evidence-based decision-making is the ability of those at the point of care to access synthesised research evidence. Evidence transfer is the coactive, participatory process to advance access to and uptake of evidence in local contexts.
Evidence implementation is a purposeful and enabling set of activities designed to engage key stakeholders with research evidence to inform decision-making and generate sustained improvement in the quality of healthcare delivery.
During #JBIMethodology Month we’ll be sharing a series of #MethodsInAMinute tweetorials. We’ll begin with key points on Umbrella Reviews by A/Prof Edoardo Aromataris 👇
With the ever-increasing number of systematic reviews & research syntheses available to inform topics in healthcare, SRs of existing reviews, or umbrella reviews, are increasingly being conducted to summarise a broad scope of issues related to a given topic.
An umbrella review is also ideal in highlighting if the evidence base around a topic or question is consistent or if contradictory or discrepant findings exist, and in exploring and detailing the reasons why.
The latest issue of the JBI Evidence Synthesis journal is out now and includes THREE diverse evidence syntheses, each employing a different #JBIMethodology.
A qualitative systematic review aims to identify, critically appraise, and synthesise the available evidence on the experiences of people with progressive memory disorders who are involved in non-pharmacological interventions: journals.lww.com/jbisrir/Abstra…
Qualitative methods & data are increasing in usage in #EBHC research. Instead of quantifying or statistically portraying the data or findings, qualitative research focuses on individuals & gives voice to the patient/client or provider in the healthcare decision-making process.

The featured systematic review is a review of etiology and risk which examines the rates of 3 harms of interest in remote communities where alcohol restriction policies are in place for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people: journals.lww.com/jbisrir/Fullte…
Systematic reviews of etiology & risk factors assess the relationship (association) between certain factors (whether genetic or environmental for example) and the development of a disease or condition or other health outcome.

Developing a comprehensive search strategy is crucial when conducting a systematic review but can be a difficult and time-consuming process. Using visual aids can be of great assistance when formulating your search strategy.
Creating a Concept Map helps to develop a comprehensive search strategy and provides you with a visual image of your research topic.
A concept map contains a main topic idea in the centre of the map with other aspects of your topic surrounding it (keywords), alternative terminology (keywords) to describe your topic for each keyword & illustrates relationships of the various aspects of your topic to each other.
