To continue to deliver high quality care to these patients requires significant changes to heath care delivery. In this project, Prof. Ludbrook and his team propose that a new Model of Care is required, based around robust processes of patient triage and streaming to the care pathways best matched to patients’ individual needs. This Model is based around (i) call centre-based computer-assisted self-assessment, (ii) centralized collection and (iii) assimilation of patient data, and referral to centres with capacity (staff, services and infrastructure) best meeting a patient’s needs. An electronic information system underpins this Model, providing the tools for communication, and data collection, analysis and storage. This project will continue to collect data through studies involving hospitals and clinical trials of the Model are proposed for 2012.

Research conducted within the department includes a combination of company sponsored clinical trials, Investigator – initiated studies conducted under the auspices of the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society-Clinical Trials Group and local investigator-initiated studies, including those by advanced trainees as part of the course requirements of the College of Intensive Care Medicine and motivated medical and nursing staff. Our research focuses on: o Improving patient safety and outcomes o Answering pragmatic, relevant clinical questions that are of importance to the clinicians who provide patient care of advancements in the delivery of more efficient and effective treatments in the ICU that will not only benefit patients but also decrease costs, preserve resources and increase access to scarce critical care beds o Statistical analysis of short and long-term outcomes relating to Intensive Care; survival analysis of chronically-ill patients and meta-analysis using the Bayesian paradigm.
