Business / Provider Profile
The Clinical Information Access Portal (CIAP) provides information and resources to support evidence-based practice at the point of care. CIAP is available to all nurses, midwives, doctors, allied health, community health, and ancillary staff working in or for NSW public health system including students while on clinical placement in a NSW Health public hospital. CIAP can be accessed from work or from home.
The goal of CIAP is to improve access to decision support, support evidence-based healthcare, reduce adverse events, improve clinical knowledge, and improve communications between clinician groups.
Background
In 1996, the Clinical Systems Reference Group (CSRG) defined the information requirements for clinicians at the point of care. Identified was the need for decision support information to meet the information requirements of clinicians. The NSW Health Department's CSRG recommended that funding be provided to initiate a website of clinical information to be called the Clinical Information Access Portal (CIAP).
