Funding Amount
$2,668,571.00
Summary
The Australian Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (Aus-ROC) will be modelled on the highly successful North American Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium. The mission of Aus-ROC will be to conduct clinical trials and observational studies into the emergency management of out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest. Building on our existing collaborative partnerships, our goal is to improve patient outcomes and build the research capacity in prehospital emergency care.
The Centre for Research Excellence in Nursing Interventions for Hospitalised Patients will provide evidence to improve the nursing care of a broad range of hospitalised patients who are at risk of complications related to compromised skin integrity and poor pain/anxiety management. Systematic reviews and clinical trials will provide the basis for developing clinical practice guidelines to assist nurses in providing high quality care to the 3.5 million Australians admitted to hospital each year.
Testing, Translation And Uptake Of Evidence In General Practice: A Systems Approach To Rapid Translation

Funding Amount
$2,411,050.00
Summary
Testing, Translation & Uptake of Evidence in General Practice: A systems approach. Though General Practice is the frontline of Australia’s health system, new research findings are often ignored by busy GPs, resulting in suboptimal care. We plan to improve this by: A. A network of influential GPs practices to test new research, B. Practice support units who provide GP and patient summaries of new research, C. Active transfer of successful new practices via social media, guidelines, and courses.
