Professor Nikolajs Zeps - Title: Why research matters to Healthcare. Making a case for embedding research into routine service delivery
Abstract -
A Leaning Healthcare System (LHS) is defined as a system in which…
"science, informatics, incentives, and culture are aligned for continuous improvement and innovation, with best practices seamlessly embedded in the delivery process and new knowledge captured as an integral byproduct of the delivery experience. - Institute of Medicine (US)
Effective and efficient healthcare is based on health services using the best available evidence to inform patient management. A culture of research integrated into routine practice is a key part of ensuring patients receive safe and highest quality care. In this presentation Dr Zeps will outline how the principle of embedding has been at the core of developing the Epworth Research Strategy and the reforms to deliver a more proportionate and efficient Research Governance Framework. The outcomes of this reform will be presented in the context of increased opportunities to increase clinical trial activity as well as clinician driven health service oriented research.
