WELCOME
On behalf of the Health Services Research Association of Australia and New Zealand (HSRAANZ), we invite you to our 13th Health Services Research Conference where innovation and research converge to shape the future of healthcare delivery.
The Conference will be held at Royal International Convention Centre (Royal ICC) in Brisbane, from 4 - 6 December 2024.
We welcome speakers and delegates to explore the current and future challenges and solutions that health services research can offer, as we harness new digital technologies to help build a sustainable, future-ready, and patient-focused health care system. With a diverse array of speakers, thought-provoking sessions, and networking opportunities, we are confident that this conference will have something for all attendees. We encourage you to actively participate, ask questions, challenge assumptions, and most importantly, forge connections that will drive progress in health services research.
Theme: HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH IN THE DIGITAL AGE
In this dynamic era of digital transformation, our conference serves as a platform for researchers, practitioners, thought leaders and policymakers to come together, exchange ideas, and delve into the exciting possibilities that digital technology offers to transform health services. We hope to address some of the key challenges: Human computer interaction, data privacy and security; data quality and reliability; interoperability; AI/machine learning and bias in algorithms; and equitable access to digital healthcare services and resources. Likewise, we’ll explore the exciting opportunities that the digital age brings: better access and patient engagement; big data and predictive analytics; telehealth; precision medicine; cost efficiency; and global collaboration.
While our main theme is HSR IN THE DIGITAL AGE, we warmly welcome and encourage all health services researchers to present their work. Whether your research delves into traditional methodologies, innovative practices, or intersects with digital technologies, your contributions will fit within the sub-themes of the conference:
