Clinical research is a critical component of our health care system. The knowledge gained and lessons learned help CIARE implement new and improved techniques, technologies, and processes that improve the treatment and care of their patients. Unfortunately, it can take a long time for such findings to make it from the research paper to health care workers on the front lines for incorporation into everyday use.
The Victoria General Hospital Clinical Institute of Applied Research and Education (CIARE) is bridging the gap between the researcher and the bedside, providing front line health care workers with information and training on new and improved patient care practices.
