Joanna Briggs Institute SUMARI

Systematic review software that takes a broader view of evidence

The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) recognizes that healthcare decisions are based, not only on the best available scientific evidence relating to effect, but also in consideration of patient preference, the context of health care and the judgment of the clinician.

The JBI System for the Unified Management of the Assessment and Review of Information (JBI SUMARI) is the Institute’s premier review software package, which has been designed to assist health professionals and researchers to conduct systematic reviews of evidence of feasibility, appropriateness, meaningfulness and effectiveness of health intervention.

There are five modules within JBI SUMARI that enable users to critically appraise, extract and synthesize research data related to their specific area of interest. The system takes you through each phase of the review process, from protocol development to final report.

Version 5.0, just released in 2011, includes new features including:

• Enhanced design
• Improved security
• Addition of off-line functionality

...and much, much more! Now included as part of the JBI Resources, this outstanding software package opens up the possibilities for the review of evidence to inform health care practice.
