JBI, formerly known as the Joanna Briggs Institute, is an international research organisation which develops and delivers evidence-based information, software, education and training designed to improve healthcare practice and health outcomes.
Global healthcare needs, as identified by clinicians or patients/consumers, are addressed through the generation of research evidence that is effective, but also feasible, appropriate and meaningful to specific populations, cultures and settings.
[5] The 'inner circle' represents the pebble of knowledge while the 'inner wedges' provide the organisation's conceptualization of the steps involved in the process of achieving an evidence-based approach to clinical decision-making.
[4] JBI has developed evidence-based practice resources and publications which have been driven by the needs of health professionals and consumers worldwide.
[citation needed] Resources include the JBI Evidence Implementation Manual; JBI Evidence Synthesis Manual (JBI's comprehensive guide to conducting systematic reviews); and Critical Appraisal Tools (includes checklists for randomized control trials, qualitative research, economic evaluations and prevalence studies).
