Our Research
We play a pivotal role in the development and use of healthcare admin and clinical data for the improvement of cancer health services across the cancer care continuum, envisioning a sustainable and equitable healthcare system. Our multidisciplinary, data-driven and evidence-based research is focused on the following research streams: Data-Driven Health Care Improvement We do this by establishing data linkages in clinical registries and other data, curation of datasets that leverage data science methodologies, development and application of novel data science and statistical methods to establish real-world evidence and address uncertainty in data, and health technology assessment (HTA) including horizon scanning. Economic Evaluation and Modelling We provide evidence-based support for healthcare decision-making and resource prioritisation in cancer care by conducting economic modelling of novel approaches for early detection and diagnosis and treatment selection, trial and real-world evidence-based economic evaluation including micro-costing and budget impact analysis, appraising and synthesising existing health economic evidence to inform policy decisions, and burden of cancer estimates. Patient Preferences, Utility and Experience We conduct health preferences research regarding cancer treatment decision-making and new technologies and medicine, measure and value quality of life and wellbeing outcomes to facilitate health economic evaluation in cancer, and measuring and valuing patient experiences to facilitate subjective health services quality improvement and performance evaluation in cancer.
