Abstract
The National Institute of Clinical Studies (NICS) was established in 2000 by the Australian government to
improve health care by closing evidence-practice gaps. Improving emergency care through use of evidence
is a priority area of work for NICS. This article describes the NICS Emergency Care Program and the
current application of a ‘‘Community of Practice’’ to support emergency clinicians to implement best
practices research. This approach combines aspects of evidence implementation science, quality improvement techniques, and knowledge management within a social network model to provide a mechanism for
rapid sharing of explicit and tacit knowledge. Through the Community of Practice, the clinical community
guides the priorities for the Emergency Care Program and is actively engaged in the development and
implementation of initiatives.
