Centre Of Research Excellence In Post-market Surveillance Of Medicines And Medical Devices’
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,500,001.00
Summary
Medicines & medical devices constitute a significant cost to Australia’s health care system. Adverse events resulting from their use are similarly a significant expense that could be reduced by the development of Australia's capacity to use linked health data-sets to detect & monitor adverse events. This Centre aims to develop capacity, methods, knowledge & tools to enhance post-marketing surveillance systems to improve information on medicine & device safety, effectiveness & utilisation.
If Australia’s health system is to benefit from the digital revolution, we need much more than new technology; we need research evidence, skills and workforce to translate these advances into effective working health services. The Centre for Research Excellence in Digital Health brings together for the first time the major Australian centres of e-health research to tackle the fundamental challenges that impede the creation of truly safe, efficient and effective digital health services.
This CRE is innovative because it brings new Aboriginal knowledge and perspectives into services for Aboriginal people. Led by Aboriginal researchers, the CRE will develop ways to empower Aboriginal people both as research leaders and how they engage with services. It will focus on positive pathways and overcome barriers to successful implementation to produce better health and wellbeing for all Aboriginal people.
Centre Of Research Excellence In Medicines And Ageing
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,601,415.00
Summary
Medicines have an important place in health and are commonly used for long periods, sometimes life-long. Using medicines wisely requires a careful balance between benefits and harmful effects. Currently, there is limited information to guide medicines use over a lifetime. Using large linked datasets, the CRE in Medicines and Ageing will generate much needed evidence about real world medicines use to support clinical and pharmaceutical policy decisions.
Centre Of Research Excellence In Women's Health In The 21st Century
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,297,161.00
Summary
The goals of the Centre of Research Excellence in Women’s Health in the 21st Century are to examine how changes in the health system impact on women’s health and how changes in women’s lives impact on their health and health care needs. This research program will focus on four priority health issues of particular relevance to women: reproductive health, mental health, cardiovascular conditions and musculoskeletal problems; and use data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health.
