Implementation support
Working with ACI Networks and healthcare providers in the adoption of healthcare innovations and service improvements across NSW.
Implementation is the action or execution of change. It’s about designing processes and shifting people’s behavior to achieve a desired outcome.
The ACI Implementation Team support ACI Networks/Institutes/Taskforces and healthcare providers to translate healthcare improvements and innovations into everyday practice. The team does this by providing on the ground support to teams of clinicians and managers across NSW, ensuring that local solutions are designed to meet the needs and context of the local environment and community. This approach ensures solutions are effective and sustainable.
Whilst the Implementation Team use Redesign methodology in the development of flexible, patient centered models at a state level, the Plan, Assess, Operationalise process is used to support implementation of best-practice models and standards of care at a site level.
