Put simply, it is finding, using and sharing what works in public health. To learn more, please have a look at this fact sheet on Evidence-Informed Public Health. (Developed by the NCCMT for the NCCPH) Evidence-Informed Public Health: a step-by-step approach Evidence-informed public health (EIPH) is the process of distilling and disseminating the best available evidence, and using that evidence to inform and improve public health policy and practice.

Expediting systematic reviews: methods and implications of rapid reviews Rebecca Ganann, Donna Ciliska, Helen Thomas Policy makers and others often require synthesis of knowledge in an area within six months or less. Traditional systematic reviews typically take at least 12 months to conduct. Rapid reviews streamline traditional systematic review methods in order to synthesize evidence within a shortened timeframe. There is great variation in the process of conducting rapid reviews. This review sought to examine methods used for rapid reviews, as well as implications of methodological streamlining in terms of rigour, bias, and results.
