Evidence-Informed Practice (EIP) CLINICAL DECISION Clinical expertise Clinical context Best research evidence Patient values & preferences The clinical decision involves all three aspects for best practice collaborators, with up to 24 continuing education hours, is currently being prepared for launch in early 2017. Looking for an opinion leader or best practices collaborator in your area? Find them on the Meet the Team page of the CCGI website. The best place to start finding out about CCGI resources is to visit our website. With more than 1,000 visits per week, www.chiroguidelines.org is updated regularly with news and re-sources for clinicians and patients. We now have a new, easy-to-find tab on the homepage for Guidelines, providing all the latest guidelines and recommenda-tions on headache, neck, back and ex-tremities within the scope of chiroprac-tic practice, along with tools to help in clinical decision-making. Find out how to access CCGI webi-nars and e-learning modules, as well as learn about how to search for the best available evidence. Links for clinicians to topics such as physical activity, self-management and ergonomics, and links to databases for chiropractic lit-erature are provided. www.canadianchiropractor.ca RESOURCES AND MORE All CCGI webinars and modules are available through CMCC website’s Continuing Education page (www. cmcc.ca/ce). Ask your local regulatory board about continuing education credit hours for CCGI learning modules and webinars. They are all free of charge. Keep up-to-date with the latest news on the CCGI’s homepage. The website also provides resources for patients, such as online information and links to websites on staying healthy, taking regular exercises, and the importance of self-management. You can use the website with your patients to help them find resources, such as Dr. Mike Evans’ videos on the importance of doing ex-ercises. You will also find the CCGI video series, recorded with our opinion leaders in 2015 and now available in French. In August 2016, I recorded a podcast on chiropractic research utilization and the implementation of best practices with Dr. Dean Smith from Chiroprac-tic Science. This online podcast, along with others in the series, can be found on the CCGI website and provides an excellent introduction to the work of CCGI. A new round of CCGI funding for Practice-Based Research Networks has just been announced, along with two new CCGI awards for chiropractic students at CMCC and UQTR, on the topic of evidence-informed practice. At CCGI we believe in working as a team. If you are interested in finding out more about this important project, get in touch with our CCGI team: Dr. André Bussières, project lead (andre. [email protected]); Dr. Darquise Lafrenière, CCGI knowledge broker ([email protected]); and Heather Owens, CCGI research man-ager ([email protected]). We will be happy to consider your suggestions and answer any questions you may have. Follow CCGI on LinkedIn and Twitter to keep up-to-date with all the latest news from CCGI.
