We’ve been a collaborator in successful grants in recent years, which are being used to deliver on our mission to support clinical leadership, provide advice on and enable system and service redesign for the promotion of excellence and innovation across healthcare in South Australia.
By securing grants and funding innovative projects, we’re helping to improve the quality, efficiency and safety of healthcare in our state.
List of awarded grants we're involved with
Application title: Models of care to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of acute care grant opportunity
Summary: Solutions to emergency department congestion must be highly integrated and multifaceted, given the interconnectedness and dependencies that exist across our health system. Fusing digital and analytical innovation, health service re-engineering and health policy evaluation and reform, this program will deliver 3 exemplar projects across the acute care continuum to establish new scalable and sustainable models of care, ensuring consumers get the right care, in the right setting, at the right time. A fourth project underpins the exemplars and focuses on the infrastructure, technology and data architecture required to enable these kinds of projects within SA Health.

Application title: In SCOPE (Surveillance for colorectal cancer prevention): Digital solutions to optimise colonoscopy surveillance
Summary: The ‘In SCOPE’ program will be the first organised digital surveillance program initiative of national relevance and applicability, using eHealth to provide optimal and equitable clinical care for people at risk of colorectal cancer. It will improve health care delivery through increased efficiency and provide a cost-effective way to manage the large number of colonoscopies, through improved compliance with national guidelines for how often procedures should be completed. It will ensure all patients receive equitable, evidenced-based care thereby achieving a reduction in the incidence of CRC. The development of research infrastructure through an Australian data registry of colonoscopy outcomes along with patient demographics and survey measures will provide a valuable data resource to facilitate research into risk factors for cancer and determine optimal prevention activity.
