The International Centre for Allied Health Evidence - iCAHE

The University of South Australia is home to the International Centre for Allied Health Evidence (iCAHE), a collaborating centre of the Joanna Briggs Institute, and was launched in August 2003. CAHE and University of South Australia will be the host organisation for this Fellowship.

iCAHE provides essential resources for allied health workers, researchers, educators, clinicians, policy makers, administrators and patients, by providing a repository for evidence-based research in a range of areas from physiotherapy through to medical radiations. The centre provides a unique opportunity to produce evidence-based solutions to allied health problems and ensure that treatment strategies are based on the best evidence and research available.

By focusing on physiotherapy, occupational therapy, podiatry, complementary and alternative therapies, and medical radiation, iCAHE aims to increase community and clinical awareness of the importance of these therapies in the whole health picture.  Evidence-based research will provide a significant impact on allied health care by taking relevant, high quality, evidence-based research and ensuring it is widely disseminated.

iCAHE offers a number of tools in evidence-based practice and quality in health care.  For further information go to the International Centre for Allied Health Evidence website
