Improving the safety and quality of emergency nursing care [ 4/1/2021 - 3/31/2026 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Failure to assess, treat comprehensively and escalate emergency patient care can be catastrophic. However, there is no emergency nursing framework in use for the 29,000+ emergency nurses working in Australia. We aim to improve access, consistency, safety and quality of emergency care for the best possible patient outcomes through system wide implementation of HIRAID - the only validated framework designed to teach emergency nurses how to systematically assess and manage emergency patients.
