Communicating to promote engagement in using electronic medical records. This reflexive ethnographic and co-design project aims to examine how patient and family participation occurs with health professionals in using the electronic medical record within hospitals, especially for patients with complex needs. Its significance involves working with patients and families to consider how they could take part in decision making activities across transitions of care and influence health care activitie ....Communicating to promote engagement in using electronic medical records. This reflexive ethnographic and co-design project aims to examine how patient and family participation occurs with health professionals in using the electronic medical record within hospitals, especially for patients with complex needs. Its significance involves working with patients and families to consider how they could take part in decision making activities across transitions of care and influence health care activities. Outcomes are new knowledge and practices about how communication occurs with the electronic medical record and strategies adopted for effective engagement. Benefits are increased understanding of how and under what circumstances, engagement can take place in using the electronic medical record.Read moreRead less
Trails of migration out of Africa in harmful mutations of the First Peoples. This project aims to study harmful mutations specific to Indigenous populations. The process of migration out of Africa has left its footprints in the mutations present in world populations. By investigating these unique signatures, this project aims to characterise the harmful mutations specific to Aboriginal Australians using the whole genome sequences of the First Peoples. The expected outcomes will benefit future ....Trails of migration out of Africa in harmful mutations of the First Peoples. This project aims to study harmful mutations specific to Indigenous populations. The process of migration out of Africa has left its footprints in the mutations present in world populations. By investigating these unique signatures, this project aims to characterise the harmful mutations specific to Aboriginal Australians using the whole genome sequences of the First Peoples. The expected outcomes will benefit future Aboriginal health research to better understand the mutations associated with various genetic diseases.Read moreRead less
Information support tools for the trauma patient pathway. Processes such as critical supply chain management, disaster management, and trauma patient pathways need people, resources, and information to be smoothly transferred between jurisdictions, but problems can occur at each handover. This project focuses on the prehospital to hospital patient pathway and aims to develop technologies, devices, and displays to support more effective handover of patients between jurisdictions. The project will ....Information support tools for the trauma patient pathway. Processes such as critical supply chain management, disaster management, and trauma patient pathways need people, resources, and information to be smoothly transferred between jurisdictions, but problems can occur at each handover. This project focuses on the prehospital to hospital patient pathway and aims to develop technologies, devices, and displays to support more effective handover of patients between jurisdictions. The project will conduct field research, design activities, and simulation-based evaluation of prototypes with healthcare professionals. Expected outcomes are designs, technologies, and guidelines that will generalise to other multi-jurisdictional processes. Benefits are safer and more efficient handover processes.Read moreRead less
