NET-S Activities
Information Sourcing
Information on new and emerging surgical procedures and technologies are
gathered from various sources and encompasses all methods of surgical
intervention used in the prevention and treatment of disease.
These include:
- Direct contact with Fellows of the Royal Australasian College of
Surgeons through regular surveys
- Broad literature searches
- Information submission via this website through the nomination of
new procedures and feedback on the information provided
- The development of information exchange strategies with interested
groups
Information Dissemination
A number of strategies are used to disseminate the information held on
the NET-S database.
These include:
- The development of an information dissemination and exchange
facility with targeted groups
- Providing regular updates of activities in surgical newsletters and
conference presentations
- Providing advance notice to the Department of Health and Aged Care,
Sections and Divisions of the College and other interested agencies
about new and emerging surgical techniques and technologies that might
require evaluation, consideration of clinical and cost impact or
modification of clinical guidance
