JBI

JBI's approach to evidence-based healthcare is unique. It considers evidence-based healthcare as decision-making that considers the feasibility, appropriateness, meaningfulness and effectiveness of healthcare practices. The best available evidence, the context in which care is delivered, the individual patient and the professional judgement and expertise of the health professional inform this process.​

This manual provides guidance to authors for the conduct and preparation of JBI systematic reviews and evidence syntheses. It has separate chapters for scoping reviews and umbrella reviews.
