Hospitals
Practice that matches the guidelines, and shows it.
Cited, NHMRC-graded evidence for hospital allied health — so guideline-aligned care, clinical governance and accreditation reviews are answered with citations rather than recollection.

What clinicians in hospitals use it for
Guideline-aligned care
Australian clinical practice guidelines are what a review measures practice against. OpenBook retrieves the guideline and the evidence beneath it, grades it on the NHMRC hierarchy, and shows you the level rather than asserting a conclusion.
Clinical governance and audit
The clinical audit tool builds criteria from retrieved evidence, each one labelled with the source it cites and inactive until a clinical lead approves it. The approver and the time are stored, so the audit's own provenance is auditable.
Accreditation evidence
An accreditation reviewer asking why a pathway is what it is wants the evidence trail, not a department's word for it. Every citation OpenBook shows resolves to a record it actually retrieved.
What you get
Real, traceable citations
Every citation resolves to a record actually retrieved. One that does not is refused rather than tidied up, and anything with a DOI is screened against Crossref retraction notices.
NHMRC evidence grading
Level I–V applied to every result from its indexed publication type, so the strength of the evidence is visible rather than asserted.
OpenBook Review
Evidence checks while you write. It reads your report, note or treatment plan, flags the claims published evidence bears on, and cites the guideline. You decide.
Five research databases in parallel
Europe PMC (PubMed/MEDLINE), PubMed Central, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar and CORE — queried at once, merged and re-ranked, with open-access full text linked where it exists.
CPD session logging
Log a search as CPD as you do it, with the citation attached, and export a certificate for your AHPRA cycle.
PII auto-detection
The search box flags names, dates of birth and similar details as you type and offers to remove them before anything is sent.
