Cover Story: Collaboration between universities and industry to develop workplace-relevant learning is one solution to address the increasing need to build capacity for health service improvement and stimulate innovation and quality improvement. This study examines the development, implementation, and evaluation of an Australian-first, work-integrated, postgraduate clinical redesign course coordinated and delivered in New South Wales (NSW) in partnership between the University of Tasmania and the Agency for Clinical Innovation (NSW). Graduating students had increased knowledge of health system redesign methods and, importantly, the ability to translate that knowledge into everyday practice. Graduates reported that they had also been able to transfer their skills and knowledge to others in the workplace and lead further system improvement projects. View this paper
