  6. Why use a search filter? • An “evidence based" search = known effectiveness • Benefits • Saves time • Increases likelihood of quality retrievals • Removes individual search burden • Embeds technical expertise • Facilitates knowledge translation

  7. Search Filter Methodology • Scoping Study • Expert Advisory Group • Gold Standard Selection • Term Identification • Search Filter • Post hoc Relevance Assessment • PubMed Translation

(Dementia[mh] OR dement*[tiab] OR alzheimer*[tw] AND Medline[sb]) OR ((Dement*[tw] OR alzheim*[tw] OR Primary Progressive aphasia*[tw] OR CADASIL[tw] OR CARASIL[tw] OR CreutzfeldtJakob*[tw] OR Frontotemporal lobar degenerat*[tw] OR Huntington*[tiab] OR KluverBucy[tiab] OR Pick disease[tw] OR Picks disease[tw] OR Pick's disease[tw] OR Primary Progressive Nonfluent aphasia*[tw] OR sundown syndrome[tw] OR sundowning[tw]OR Korsakoff syndrome[tw] OR Binswanger*[tiab] OR hiv associated neurocognitive disorder*[tw] OR cjd[tw]) NOT Medline[sb])AND English[la]

  9. So, how does this relate to online education? • Searching solutions • Supports knowledge access and use • Education is not just initial qualification but professional practice and CPD • Transparent, reproducible, demonstrates complexity • Hyperlinked web-based searching • Flinders Filters • Boutique research group (1:3 in the world) • Collaborations with various groups in Health • Can it be used in other disciplines?

  10. Search Filters Available • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health • Contraception, Long-Acting Reversible Contraception, Emergency Contraception • Dementia • Heart Failure • Lung Cancer, Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) • Palliative Care • Primary Health care • Residential Aged Care
