Having experienced different trauma systems from the health care provider perspective, Beth has learned to appreciate that every system is unique. This has led to the research idea of comparing the different trauma systems we have across our nation.
Fraud happens in every area of life where there is money and prestige, including scientific research. There are sadly many people who are willing to fake research that fools peer reviewers, but eventually smells fishy when held up to post-publication scrutiny. Research fraud will never be eradicated, but we can reduce its influence with some relatively simple steps.

Known as the Costing Implementation Strategies instrument, Cost-IS provides practical guidance and tools for collecting data and estimating resource costs associated with implementation strategies in health services research.
With the surge in demand for digital health, health services are struggling to manage the requests which they receive daily for consideration. When resources are scarce and budgets restrictive, responding to these requests requires evidence-based approaches to ensure meaningful selections are made.
There are many reasons why patients may not be able to attend an appointment, and this complexity means there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Nevertheless, thoughtfully designed digital health solutions can improve healthcare efficiency and accessibility.
“Digital Health” has become a popular term that can conjure up images of code, touchscreens and futuristic hospitals. While there are certainly truisms to these tropes, it is really a vast umbrella label encompassing almost all aspects of contemporary healthcare, from sophisticated risk modelling to booking systems.
