Health services
Overview
Health Services research is not one scientific discipline, but uses a range of methods including biostatistics, economics, sociology, mathematics, epidemiology and psychology. It also requires input from clinical disciplines such as medicine, nursing, and allied health disciplines.
QUT has strength in all these areas, and there are key researchers who act as catalysts for the collaboration necessary to do good health services research. Researchers collaborate to encourage Queensland-based health services professionals to conduct research in partnership with academics, and to disseminate to policy makers and politicians. The research drives knowledge translation to improve decision making.
