Responding to health system challenges
with evidence
We use a strong evidence base to inform emerging innovations and evaluate their potential for wider use and system transformation. We’ve worked with our partners to gather evidence and collectively respond to system challenges.
Experiential evidence
Experiential evidence collates the knowledge and expertise that individuals or groups develop from encounters, involvement or practice.
- We developed an Experiential evidence guide to support the collection of experiential evidence in healthcare innovation, improvement and evaluation.
- The guide outlines practical methods and techniques to source the experiences and insights of patients and clinicians.
The ACI has gathered experiential evidence to inform several initiatives, including:
Rapid evidence checks
Rapid evidence checks provide a balanced assessment of what is already known about a specific problem or issue.
- Since March 2020, the Critical Intelligence Unit has conducted more than 120 evidence checks on topics related to COVID-19.
- 23 rapid evidence checks were developed for our clinical networks to inform the development of clinical practice guides and models of care.
