Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare
Our Purpose
We aim to improve healthcare by better understanding the causes of, and solutions to, gaps between research evidence and its application in practice.
The Institute delivers world-class research, engagement and training that serves as a national and international resource for scholars, clinicians, system leaders, patients and families in the implementation of evidence-based clinical care. The effective integration of research into practice contributes to the health and healthcare of Australians, influences health policy, improves global health outcomes, and enhances Bond University as a leading private and independent University.
