Centre for Evidence Based Practice Australasia

The Royal Melbourne Hospital continues to lead the way in developing online evidence based clinical knowledge resources by launching a virtual Centre for Evidence Based Practice Australasia . CEBPA is not a typical website but an evolving 'cloud' (or collection) of EBP resources from across Australia and New Zealand, with particular emphasis on Australasian content. The aims of CEBPA are:
1. to provide an additional layer of resources to that already provided by Australasian EBP sites,
2. to provide a central point for Australasia-wide EBP collaboration, learning and knowledge-sharing and
3. to facilitate the translation of (evidence-based) knowledge into action.

The Royal Melbourne Hospital Director of Education, A/Prof Peter Morley, said: “The CEBPA fills a gap in the current health infrastructure and potentially plays a major role in improving the quality of healthcare. There is also potential for saving costs across diverse areas of healthcare, with flow-on benefits in clinical audit, clinical governance and safety."
