Research Interests
In the perfect storm of increased connectivity, technology advancements, individual expectations and transformation of services, there is significant requirement for digital health information to be robust enough to satisfy expected, appropriate use and information governance criteria. Current Research interests concern analysis and design of informed consent models and instruments for sharing information contained in Electronic Health Records (EHR). Ownership of the EHR, digital health literacy and patient engagement are all essential ingredients in designing appropriate and useful models and instruments that can be supported by and influence EHR system information architectures. Novel research dissemination and engagement processes are important as scalable EHR research is both interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and needs to consider legacy systems as well as nascent technologies embedded in the complex world of healthcare.
