Professor Karnon has undertaken applied evaluation research in a wide range of clinical areas. Analyses he has undertaken or led have informed decisions around the funding of new pharmaceuticals for heart disease, breast cancer, and thalassaemia, patient safety programs, and screening programs for cervical and colorectal cancer and various antenatal and neonatal conditions. More recently, an NHMRC funded simulation model of glaucoma services led to practice change to address increasing demand and won best Australian Health Services Research paper of 2014. Over the last five years, he has also developed methods for the extraction and analysis of routinely collected health care and mortality data to assess the causes and consequences of variation in clinical practice. The developed methods have been published in high ranking journals, the subject of multiple invited presentations, and are currently being applied to the evaluation of the major Transforming Health initiative being rolled out in South Australia. They will inform areas of success, as well as identifying priority areas for action.
