Collaboration in Ireland for Clinical Effectiveness Reviews (HRB-CICER) 2016
Clinical effectiveness is a key component of patient safety and quality. The integration of best evidence in service provision, through clinical effectiveness processes, promotes healthcare that is up to date, effective and consistent.
The National Clinical Effectiveness Committee (NCEC) is a Ministerial committee established in 2010 as part of the Patient Safety First Initiative. It is supported by the Clinical Effectiveness Unit (CEU), Department of Health. The NCEC is a partnership between key stakeholders in patient safety and its mission is to provide a framework for national endorsement of clinical guidelines and audit to optimise patient and service user care.
The HRB, along with the NCEC/CEU, invite proposals for the development and management of HRB-CICER. The award for HRB-CICER is for five years.
Who should apply?
The HRB-CICER is expected to consist of an interdisciplinary team of researchers comprising research specialists in systemic reviewing, health economics and information sciences.
The objective of this open competitive call is to make one award for the Collaboration in Ireland for Clinical Effectiveness Reviews (HRB-CICER) to support the work of the NCEC/CEU with regard to the evidence requirements for the clinical effectiveness processes across all areas as laid out in the NCEC Terms of Reference. CICER will undertake evidence reviews and provide scientific support for the development of the NCECs clinical practice guidelines and other activities relating to the work of the NCEC. …more
