This website offers freely-available access to a range of resources developed by iCAHE over time. These resources have come from projects that iCAHE researchers have conducted and from requests for information from clients, collaborators and associates. This page contains links to an ongoing and constantly evolving collection of resources designed to promote the continual improvement of quality and safety of allied health care, that is at the heart of all iCAHE activities.

Critical Appraisal Tools: Critical appraisal is an integral process in Evidence Based Practice. Critical appraisal aims to identify methodological flaws in the literature and provide consumers of research evidence the opportunity to make informed decisions about the quality of research evidence. iCAHE has collated a list of critical appraisal tools, linked to the websites where they were developed which will be updated as new critical appraisal tools are published.

Glossary of terms: Stakeholders in health care are often confronted with many terms in evidence based practice (EBP). Recognising there is a need to provide clarity for these commonly used terms iCAHE is please to present two glossaries. The first glossary provides an overview of commonly used terms in Evidence Based Practice. The second glossary takes a specialised approach to Knowledge Translation. These will be regularly updated as to provide a dynamic resources for all Allied Health stakeholders.

iCAHE Journal Club Critical Appraisal Library: As part of the Journal Clubs that are run at iCAHE, a large volume of Critical Appraisal Summaries (CA Summaries) of published literature are created. These are useful resources to all stakeholders and as such we provide a library of all summaries. For each summary, iCAHE provides the citation details and methodological quality of the study identified to address the clinical question developed by the journal club.
