Institute for Medical Advancement and Clinical Excellence (IMACE) is dedicated to developing high-quality, evidence-based clinical guidelines that are relevant to Hong Kong’s healthcare landscape. Through the integration of robust scientific evidence, real-world data, and the collective expertise of healthcare professionals from both the public and private sectors, IMACE strives to advance clinical excellence and enhance the quality of healthcare practice. Our recommendations support informed clinical decision-making, promote effective patient care, and ultimately improve health outcomes for individuals receiving treatment in Hong Kong.

 

For Healthcare Professionals

Clinical guidelines provide an important reference framework for the healthcare sector, supporting the systematic collection of data and clinical evidence to facilitate in-depth deliberations on disease screening, diagnosis, treatment and management. They also enable objective evaluations of the effectiveness of various medical options, including drugs, medical devices, diagnostic technologies, surgical procedures, non-pharmacological interventions and innovative healthcare solutions. Following comprehensive review and expert deliberation, we regularly develop and publish clinical guidelines, as well as service quality and efficiency standards.

 

For the Public

Clinical guidelines also serve as an important public education tool, fostering clearer and more effective communication between doctors and patients. They help the public better understand the healthcare services and treatment options that may be recommended for different medical conditions. In addition, IMACE provides evidence-based policy recommendations to the Government, with the aim of advancing clinical excellence and enhancing the overall quality of healthcare in Hong Kong.
