About the Department / Program

The iIMPROVE Program is dedicated to improving emergency care through evidence-based, sustainable change. Our multidisciplinary team brings together consumers, clinicians, researchers, implementation scientists, health economists, biostatisticians, knowledge translation experts, policymakers, and national partners. Unlike many improvement initiatives that rely primarily on education and local guidelines, iIMPROVE focuses on implementation science to achieve lasting, system-wide change. We use evidence, data, and continuous co-design with consumers and clinicians to develop practical solutions that can be successfully embedded into everyday healthcare. By building implementation science capability and working closely with health services and policymakers, the iIMPROVE Program is driving sustainable improvements in emergency care and helping shape practice and policy across Australia.
