OVERVIEW:

WORKSHOP 1: Applied Economics in Health Services Design and Evaluation

LOCATION:  UQ Herston campus, Oral Health Building

The Health Services Research Association of Australia and New Zealand (HSRAANZ) is pleased to announce a half-day workshop on Applied Economics in Health Services Design and Evaluation, to be delivered by members of the University of Queensland Centre for Health Services Research.

This workshop will help researchers understand the role of health economics and assist in grant writing and developing research proposals.

The content will cover the following topics:

  • Economic methods relevant to healthcare sectors
  • Economic evaluation and priority setting
  • Outcome measurement
  • Cost measurement

The content will be delivered by a team of experts from the Centre for Health Services Research, including Prof Tracy Comans, Dr Kim-Huong Nguyen, Dr Charles Okafor, and Dr Afroz Kermat.

The first half of the workshop will focus on various economic concepts and their relevance to the design and evaluation of health services and interventions. The primary objective is to raise awareness about the importance of incorporating health economic thinking and analyses right from the project identification and design phase through to implementation and evaluation. This approach is increasingly crucial for securing grant funding, successful trial implementation, and eventual scale-up of effective and high-value health services or interventions.

The latter half of the workshop will provide a practical experience of conducting a cost analysis. Participants will be guided through the process of selecting a case study from a set of prepared examples, and then assisted in conducting the evaluation by the instructors and teaching assistants. The primary focus of this section is to equip participants with the technical skills required to design and conduct a cost analysis independently or with minimal guidance. Participants will then work in small groups to compile the analysis results into a 3-minute presentation, which they will share with the group.

WORKSHOP 2: Introduction to Implementation Science

LOCATION:  UQ Herston campus, Oral Health Building

The Health Services Research Association of Australia and New Zealand (HSRAANZ) is pleased to announce a half-day workshop on Implementation Science Skills in Practice, to be delivered by members of the Queensland University of Technology’s Australian Centre for Health Services Innovation (AusHSI).

This introductory workshop is suitable for researchers, clinicians and policymakers who want to understand the role implementation science can play in improving the design, delivery and evaluation of health services and interventions.

This workshop will cover topics such as:

  • Implementation Science 101: an introduction for beginners
  • Theories, models and frameworks for implementation
  • Implementation strategies
  • Implementation outcomes
  • Understanding implementation context, including identifying barriers and enablers
  • How to practically apply implementation science methodologies in the real-world
The content will be delivered by a team of experts from AusHSI including Associate Professor Zephanie Tyack, Dr Bridget Abell, Dr Sundresan Naicker, Dr Michelle Allen.

The first part of the workshop will include presentations which will give attendees a good introduction to key ideas in the field and provide examples of how implementation science and implementation frameworks have been used in the design and implementation of real-world problems and projects. The second session will be a hands-on activity where participants will be given qualitative data and interview excerpts from real implementation studies and be guided through the process of mapping this data to a selected implementation framework (CFIR or NASSS) to identify study barriers and enablers and discuss potential implementation strategies. Finally, the day will conclude with a panel Q & A session where attendees can ask the presenters their burning implementation questions or follow-up any topics from throughout the afternoon.

All enquiries please direct to the workshop coordinator, Dr Bridget Abell at bridget.abell@qut.edu.au
