Centre For Research Excellence In Reducing Healthcare Associated Infection
Funder

Funding Amount
$2,495,795.00
Summary
Each year in Australia 180,000 patients suffer a healthcare associated infection. Risk can be reduced with relatively simple technology but substantial costs arise with system wide adoption and monitoring. The economic paradigm is that funds can be invested for infection reduction to save costs and lives. The CRE will reveal the cost-effectiveness of infection control programmes and show health services decision-makers how to improve patient outcomes, save resources and save lives.

Funding Amount
$2,496,646.00
Summary
The Centre for Research Excellence in Medical Workforce Dynamics will grow new capacity in health services research, with high potential for policy impact, providing much needed evidence on the factors that influence doctors' decisions on how many hours to work, their location of work, including working in rural and remote areas, and decisions to leave the medical workforce and retire. These decisions influence the population’s access to health care, costs and health outcomes.
