Building quality in the delivery of integrated care; supporting community partnerships
Mater has long been a leader in integrating care. The Mater/UQ Centre for Integrated Care and Innovation was established at Mater in August 1994, was jointly funded by the Sisters of Mercy and Queensland Health. Since 2001, it has been supported by the Sisters of Mercy and external funding from project work and consultancy services, and is aligned with its sister unit the Centre for Health System Reform and Integration and Mater Research. In line with the Mater Group Strategy and Mater Health Clinical Service Plan, the Centre continues to respond to changing community needs, in partnership with key stakeholders, focusing on building systems to provide effective healthcare to individuals and communities.
