Data & Analytics

This collaborative project in Western Australia created a comprehensive chronic kidney disease (CKD) dataset using privacy-preserving techniques to enable new insights into CKD incidence, progression, and economic impact; inform clinical care improvements and policy making; and foster further innovation.

DHCRC brought together Monash University and partners to enhance video telehealth services in Victoria through the development and piloting of the Patient Consultation Summary (PCS) application on Healthdirect Australia's VideoCall platform to improve patient and clinician experiences of telehealth.

DHCRC brought together Swinburne University of Technology, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and Propel Health AI in a collaborative project that first tested the Propel platform capability to manage and prepare data for analytics while ensuring data governance, security and privacy, the used the platform to develop, deploy and test an AI model to support clinical workflow in radiology reporting.

This project, which brings together a broad group of industry participants: Monash University, Eastern Health, Department of Health Victoria and The Australian Council of Healthcare Standards, has developed and validated a reusable framework that automates the data extraction and visualisation of key metrics and standards required for hospital accreditation.

From early in the COVID-19 pandemic, DHCRC along with Macquarie University partnered with a number of primary health networks (PHNs) in Victoria and NSW among other collaborators including Outcome Health in successive research projects investigating how near real-time de-identified data from general practices could inform and help optimise care, first for COVID-19 and then extending to long COVID.

This collaboration between DHCRC, Telstra Health – the largest Australian-based provider of software solutions for residential aged care – and RMIT University resulted in the development and validation of an innovative electronic screening and risk prediction tool for deterioration in aged care residents.
