ARCHI is Changing
The Australian Resource Centre for Healthcare Innovations (ARCHI) website will transition from HealthShare NSW to the
Agency for Clinical Innovation (ACI) from 1 February 2013.
This provides the opportunity to consolidate and share clinical information and innovative knowledge resources across the NSW health system and beyond.
The ACI is currently reviewing the ACI website (including ARCHI), and examining ways to improve the way knowledge and information is shared across the health system. Your feedback will help us to improve our services.
We will provide updates on the ARCHI transition process as we move through this review. If you have questions, please contact , Patient and Staff Experience Project Officer on 02 9464 4722.
