AusHSI was a proud sponsor of the 13th Health Services Research Conference. This year’s theme "Health Services Research in the Digital Age" highlighted the complexity of integrating digital innovations within health systems and AusHSI’s digital health research featured strongly throughout the program.
In the lead up to this year’s theme Health Services Research in the Digital Age, we have been unpacking the value of digital health research and highlighting AusHSI’s work in this space. Check out the HSR24 program and don't miss the AusHSI Implementation Science and Health Economics teams who will showcase research across several talks over the conference.
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.
The Digital Health Cooperative Research Centre has formed a Senior Academic Leaders Council, a national, cross-university network driving collaboration across digital health research and education.
In June 2024, Dr Sunny Naicker was invited to speak at the Dutch National Implementation Science colloquium in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Sunny also visited the Amsterdam Centre for Implementation Science, and attended an invite-only knowledge translation meeting in Sweden.
