Internship project: The role of digital technologies in supporting delivery of multidisciplinary women’s health care models
Project Participants
Status: Ongoing
Opportunity
Women’s Health is a broad category of medicine that focuses specifically on the treatment and diagnosis of conditions that affect women. It can include health care to support a range of physical conditions that only affect women such as menstruation, miscarriage, and pregnancy as well as conditions that both men and women experience but where the effect is different across sexes.
The aim of this project is to understand how digital technologies support the delivery of multidisciplinary women’s health care to women with Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (HMB). During the project, the intern will map the technology integration to support this model and analyse interviews with key stakeholders about this process. If time permits the intern will also conduct interviews with members of a multidisciplinary care team, patients, and other health professionals involved in the care pathway (e.g. general practitioners) to understand different perspectives on how technology is used to support multidisciplinary women’s health care and communicate information between patients and providers.
This project will contribute to the generation of a series of case studies on how technology is being used to enhance the delivery of women’s health care.
Project Objectives
- Explore how health information is communicated between health care teams, referring practitioners and patients in a Women’s Health clinic.
- Explore the experiences of stakeholders receiving care via a multidisciplinary Women’s Health model.
- Describe the role of digital technologies supporting multidisciplinary Women’s Healthcare models.
