Current projects

Medical Research Future Fund Models of Care to Improve Efficiency and Effectiveness of Acute Care. (2022). Giving patients an EPIC-START: An evidence-based, data driven model of care to improve patient care and efficiency in emergency departments. 2,847,592.26

National Health and Medical Research Council Partnership Project Scheme, 2021. Improving the safety and quality of emergency nursing care. $3,621,356.

Australia’s 287 emergency departments (EDs) see more than 8 million patients a year. Emergency nurses are the first clinicians with whom patients have contact, so patient safety is contingent on their accurate assessment, interpretation of clinical data, intervention and escalation. There is no standardised way that Australia’s 29,000+ emergency nurses are taught to initially assess and manage their patients. We proposed a solution - HIRAID™ (History, Identify Red flags, Assessment, Interventions, Diagnostics, communication and reassessment), developed by HIRAID is the only validated framework designed to teach emergency nurses how to systematically assess and manage emergency patients. The development of HIRAID™ was led by myself and Dr Margaret Murphy. More information about the program here

The international nursing community is eagerly awaiting the results of this penultimate trial. The Emergency Nurses Association USA have indicated interest in widespread implementation. HIRAID™ has already been taught in SriLanka, Fiji, Nepal, USA and Colombia.
