Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare

What Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare does

The Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare (IEBH) is a non-profit academic research institute embedded within Bond University on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, founded in 2010. It employs approximately 11 staff and is dedicated to improving healthcare by understanding and addressing gaps between research evidence and its application in clinical practice. Its core activities consist of evidence synthesis and implementation science research, professional training and workshops, and stakeholder engagement aimed at influencing health policy and clinical care delivery in Australia and internationally.

IEBH does not operate commercial software, SaaS, or technology products. Its underlying 'technology' is methodological: structured evidence-synthesis approaches and implementation science frameworks applied to healthcare questions, exemplified by a 57,000-participant study on diet and mental health. Outputs take the form of academic publications, policy influence, workshops, and knowledge-translation content distributed via Bond University's institutional channels plus a multi-channel social and newsletter presence. The institute is led by Director Prof. Julie Redfern AM, Prof. Tammy Hoffmann, and Dr Paul Glasziou, whose individual recognitions (Order of Australia, NHMRC Elizabeth Blackburn Investigator Grant) constitute the primary brand equity.

IEBH's business model is grant-funded rather than commercial. Revenue is sourced primarily from competitive research grants awarded by Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and other government health agencies, with a newly publicised philanthropic appeal supporting cardiac research. There is no commercial pricing model; services are delivered through collaborative research arrangements, workshops, and educational programs. Target stakeholder segments include academic scholars and researchers, clinicians and healthcare professionals, healthcare system leaders and policymakers, and patients and families — engaged via community-led outreach, training, and dissemination rather than traditional sales motions.

Broad incumbents

• NIHR Evidence Synthesis Working Group (UK): UK government-funded programme producing evidence syntheses to inform health and social care. Comparable mission and methodology, though part of a much larger national funder infrastructure.
• Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI): Larger, well-established US-based improvement science organisation focused on healthcare quality and implementation. Comparable in addressing evidence-to-practice gaps, though broader in scope and portfolio than IEBH.
• Monash University School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine: Large Australian university school conducting evidence synthesis, clinical trials, and health services research. Broader in scope but overlapping methodological overlap with IEBH's evidence-based healthcare research.
