AusHSI Research Associate Kamila Davidson shares her views on why health services research is important, and what health services innovation means to her.

A Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) is a method used to elicit individual preferences for different aspects of services, programs, or products. Learn how DCEs are being used in Health Services Research to understand how choices are made and predict future choice responses.

AusHSI Research Associate David Rodwell shares insights into his background, expertise and views on the impact of quality health services research and innovation.

My research looks at ways in which digital health systems can assist in the reduction of non-attendance at scheduled outpatient healthcare appointments. The project aims to provide insights into the impact of non-attendance, and consumer preferences and cost-effectiveness for interventions that may be used to reduce non-attendance.

My research investigates how we can take advantage of implementation science approaches to adopt computerised Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) within hospital settings. The aim of my project is to increase awareness around what changes may be needed to improve the process.

My PhD research is focused on understanding what makes clinical decision support models useful for addressing clinical deterioration. My project will consist of a series of related studies.

My project is all about developing and evaluating prediction models for hospital falls. To do this, we have partnered with Metro South Health and will be using the data within integrated electronic medical records (ieMR) for patients admitted across any of their hospitals.

Since its founding ten years ago AusHSI has embodied QUT’s Real World principles, notably the value of partnership to effect change in Australian health services. AusHSI’s research has partnered on numerous projects with practical benefits for clinicians, hospitals, aged care, and health consumers.

Since its founding, AusHSI has built the capacity of health service organisations to evolve and improve by leading significant education initiatives informed by latest research.
