We are using data to advance and\u00a0humanise\u00a0many different perspectives of\u00a0paediatric\u00a0patient care. From redesigning industry operations to applying collected information to reshape how we structure and deliver education and research. Growing every day into a global-leading\u00a0paediatric\u00a0campus, we interpret data into meaning to change and ease difficult moments in children\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n<p>Health analytics (or health informatics) is the digital meeting place of health care, information technology and science. Yes, we use computers to\u00a0analyse\u00a0the data, but we\u2019re all about information. With a\u00a0grand\u00a0goal, health analytics seeks to strengthen all corners of\u00a0paediatric\u00a0patient care to make a big difference in little lives. Imagine what we can do using the right data, at the right time, presented in the right way.<\/p>\n<p>Once we have the data, we can put it in front of clinicians, patients, researchers, managers, and other decision-makers. When current, relevant information informs action, health analytics can\u00a0revolutionise\u00a0how we prevent, treat and cure conditions. It also gives us tools to influence policymakers and guide public health\u202fmanagement at a government level. From allergies to rare congenital and life-threatening illnesses \u2013\u00a0knowledge is power. We want to use that power to affect real change.\u00a0Our research will be driven under 5 pillars: direct patient care; patient care processes; public health; population health and policy; and, engaged community.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speakers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kate Lucas<\/strong> is the Director of the Centre for Health Analytics, commencing in February 2020.
