ACTS Participant Window: Australia Participants

This page is for ACTS Collaborative participants from Australia (e.g., University of Melbourne, Living Guidelines Initiative, others) to document their current and desired approaches, needs, and capabilities to support others regarding the knowledge ecosystem for COVID-19 and beyond. The purpose of the documentation is to facilitate the uptake of high-quality evidence and guidance into clinical decision support and performance measures, to highlight best practice, and to foster inter-agency cooperation and support. The first set of tables apply broadly to COVID-19 (and other targets), and the second set of tables refer to evidence and guidance specifically related to the Collaborative’s current focus targets; i.e., COVID-19 testing and triage, and anticoagulant use.

Those providing data for these tables should consider, "What do you want others working in the knowledge ecosystem to know about your efforts and needs that could ultimately lead to filling gaps and making your work more successful?" and "What strategies, tools, resources have you identified that can help others on their ecosystem improvement efforts?

Feel free to focus only on the boxes where your work focuses. We’re approaching this iteratively, so getting a little feedback quickly from you (as we’re doing with others) will help us build a critical mass of information and value quickly.
