The Australian Safety and Efficacy Register of New Interventional Procedures--Surgical (ASERNIP-S) came into being 10 years ago to provide health technology assessments specifically tailored towards new surgical techniques and technologies. It was and remains the only organisation in the world to focus on this area of research. Most funding has been provided by the Australian Government Department of Health, and assessments have helped inform the introduction of new surgical techniques into Australia. ASERNIP-S is a project of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. The ASERNIP-S program employs a diverse range of methods including systematic reviews, technology overviews, assessments of new and emerging surgical technologies identified by horizon scanning, and audit. Support and guidance for the program is provided by Fellows of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. ASERNIP-S works closely with consumers to produce health technology assessments and audits, as well as consumer information to keep patients fully informed of research. Since its inception, the ASERNIP-S program has developed a strong international profile through the production of over 60 reports on evidence-based surgery, surgical technologies and audit. The work undertaken by ASERNIP-S has evolved from assessments of the safety and efficacy of procedures to include guidance on policies and surgical training programs. ASERNIP-S needs to secure funding so that it can continue to play an integral role in the improvement of quality of care both in Australia and internationally.
澳大利亚新介入手术安全与有效性注册系统（ASERNIP-S）于10年前成立，旨在提供专门针对新手术技术和工艺的卫生技术评估。它过去是、现在仍然是世界上唯一专注于该研究领域的组织。大部分资金由澳大利亚卫生部提供，评估有助于为新手术技术引入澳大利亚提供参考依据。ASERNIP-S是澳大利亚皇家外科学院的一个项目。ASERNIP-S项目采用多种方法，包括系统评价、技术综述、对通过前沿扫描确定的新兴手术技术进行评估以及审计。该项目由澳大利亚皇家外科学院的院士提供支持和指导。ASERNIP-S与消费者密切合作，开展卫生技术评估和审计，并提供消费者信息，让患者充分了解相关研究。自成立以来，ASERNIP-S项目通过发布60多份关于循证手术、手术技术和审计的报告，在国际上树立了强大的形象。ASERNIP-S所开展的工作已从对手术程序的安全性和有效性评估，发展到包括政策和手术培训计划方面的指导。ASERNIP-S需要确保资金，以便能够继续在提高澳大利亚乃至国际医疗质量方面发挥不可或缺的作用。
