Ethics
RBWH is committed to the highest standards of research integrity. Research governance, including the ethical review of research, refers to the processes to ensure that research across Metro North Hospital and Health Service, including at RBWH, is conducted according to the appropriate regulatory, ethical and scientific standards.

Quality Assurance
Quality Assurance (QA) projects are undertaken within the hospital to evaluate the outcomes of processes and services and to increase the efficiency of the services provided. Quality assurance includes such terms as: ‘clinical audit’; ‘service evaluation’; and ‘quality improvement.’
While QA is not research, it exists on a continuum and has some similarities. However, for those QA projects that do not meet the threshold for research, no ethics review is required, although it is recognised that consideration of whether such review is required will be an important consideration for peer-reviewed journals in the event that the conductor of the QA project wishes to publish the outcomes.
RBWH Quality Assurance projects 2019
In 2019, RBWH staff conducted more than 200 QA projects. It is intended that in future the outcomes of these activities will be collected and listed here.
