Bruyère Best Evidence Reports

Bruyère Reports & Rapid Reviews

Bruyère Reports is an initiative of the BRI used to communicate current, relevant information and evidence to care givers, policy makers and the general public. Bruyère Rapid Reviews represent a unique evidence-based tool for the development and sharing of evidence to help improve clinical decision-making in institutional and community settings. The approach starts with identification of gaps in practice that require additional information to resolve. Once the gap is clearly defined, a research question is formed and a review of current evidence is rapidly completed. The intent is then to take that evidence, apply it in the clinical or community setting, and evaluate whether it improved care, practice or health outcomes.
