Evidence Innovation: Transforming The Efficiency Of Systematic Review
Funder

Funding Amount
$928,417.00
Summary
Australia invests considerable resources developing reliable summaries of research evidence to understand the benefits and risks of drugs and health programs. We will use information technologies and ‘crowdsourcing’ to improve the production of evidence summaries, evaluate this approach in a randomised study, and facilitate implementation throughout Australia. This will improve the translation of research into health practice and policy, reducing research waste and improving health outcomes.
Lipidomics of vision. Presbyopia and cataract are the major causes of visual impairment worldwide. Nevertheless, our understanding of lens ageing at both a cellular and molecular level is limited. This project will gain new insight into the effect of age on lens membrane lipids and their role in the development of presbyopia and cataract.

Summary
Adolescents and young adults with chronic health conditions and communication disabilities struggle to communicate their health information with service providers. This causes problems in care when moving from child to adult health services. This study will investigate their use of the Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record as a means to support timely and effective information exchange to improve healthcare for these vulnerable young adults.
