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 has created two glossaries. Visit iCAHE Glossary webpage at http://www.unisa.edu.au/cahe/Resources/glossary. 

The first glossary provides an overview of commonly used terms in Evidence Based Practice. The second glossary takes a specialised approach to Knowledge Translation
