QBE Insurance and the Centre for Rehab Innovations (CRI) partnering to evaluate new models of service delivery

The management of patients recovering from severe injury is a complex process. Often rehabilitation requires extensive interaction between the patient, healthcare specialists, allied health practitioners, and insurers.  

Striving to optimise these processes and taking advantage of new innovations when they arise is a major priority for QBE. To this end, QBE has recently partnered with the Centre for Rehab Innovation (CRI) at HMRI and The University of Newcastle, to take a closer look at the models of care, including community-care based models, that are used to manage injuries acquired in the workplace or because of motor vehicle accidents.
