Over the past year, the Bridging Research and Quality Initiative has been working to develop more streamlined processes and improved systems for quality and low-risk research activities across healthcare settings.
Following the momentum from the February 2025 Summit, this event will bring together key stakeholders to explore and problem-solve around the Key Priority Areas identified for action.
Focus Areas
- Interpreting the Statutory Guidelines: What information is currently provided to healthcare users — and how do variable interpretations of the Health Records Act impact research and quality activities?
- Responsible Use of Data: What does good data stewardship look like? Understanding the concept of data custodianship and its practical implications.
- Secondary Use of Data: Clarifying Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) requirements and promoting a shared understanding of ethical governance.
Join us for a collaborative and solutions-focused session designed to align policy, practice, and innovation — ensuring research and quality activities in healthcare are both efficient and ethically robust.
Who should attend:
Researchers, quality managers, ethics officers, health service leaders, data governance specialists, and anyone involved in the design or oversight of healthcare research and quality improvement.
