Biography
PhD Project: How can routinely collected clinical data be used to screen for unwarranted variation in hospital services to help promote efficient practice? My research involves an investigation of the use of linked routinely collected clinical data for comparative cost-effectiveness analyses of hospital services and the potential of these analyses to inform continuous quality improvement (CQI) of hospital services. A particular focus of my research is in the various statistical methods used to control for differences in patient cohorts from different hospitals and the impact of these methods on the resulting analyses. The research will be focused on the treatment of patients presenting with chest pain in the Emergency Department of SA public hospitals.
