Project: Development of rural generalist medicine: An international comparison - the Qld Case Study
Rebecca Evans
01 Aug 2024 - 30 Jun 2025
I am receiving no research grant for this project but have been told by JCU Contracts that I need to complete this GECO. This component of the project is to interview registrars and supervisors in TCHHS, CWHHS and DDHHS regarding the Rural Generalist Medicine program.
Cairns Delirium Clinic – Evaluation Study
Rachel Quigley
14 Mar 2024 - 31 Dec 2026
The aim of the present research is to; (1) document the rates of unrecognized cognitive (dementia) and psychiatric conditions (depression, PTSD, anxiety) in older adult patients who are referred to the CHHHS delirium clinic, and (2) explore patient and carer experiences of the new Delirium Clinic. Specifically, this study aims to investigate whether access to a delirium follow-up service results in better coordination of care, increased patient and carer well-being, and an improved health care system experience. 24/001391

National Research Project on Remote Radiology Assessment Service Delivery
Karen Carlisle
01 May 2017 - 30 Nov 2019
This project will investigate outcomes of the BreastScreen Australia remote radiology assessment trial at sites through9out Australia. Engaging a remote radiologist may assist with overcoming many challenges associated with providing health services in a regional, rural or remote location. This project seeks to ensure that the alternative model of service delivery is appropriate for consumers, evidence-based and safe. Specifically, this project will assess how the new remote radiology model affects: - Patient safety - Patient acceptability - Staff acceptability of new model of service provision - The safe, efficient organisation of BreastScreen services

Mental Health Collaborative Evaluation Project
Karen Carlisle
01 Apr 2018 - 31 Dec 2019
Western Queensland PHN is one of 31 PHNs established to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of primary care services for patients, particularly those at risk of poor health outcomes. The mental health collaborative is part of the wider Australian Primary Care Collaborative (APCC) program which is a key part of the Australian General Practice quality improvement landscape. The mental health collaborative aims to encourage practices to engage in a continuous quality improvement (CQI) approach to improve mental health care provided and health outcomes. The program provides support to general practices and other primary health care services to deliver rapid, measurable, systematic and sustainable improvements in the care they provide to patients. The purpose of this evaluation is to determine the association of implementation of the mental health collaborative with changes in client outcomes (particularly overall wellbeing and functioning) over a 12 month period.
Identification of good practices in engaging communities in research for implementation and in social innovation in health in low- and middle-income countries
Karen Carlisle
01 Apr 2021 - 31 Dec 2021
This project will undertake a systematic review to identify lessons learned around processes to engage communities in health services research in low and middle countries in South East Asia and the Pacific. It will focus on both the types of engagement (participants, stakeholders, partners, initiators and leaders) and the results update processes and outcomes. It will adhere to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta- Analysis (PRISMA) checklist and access published, systematic reviews and grey literature.
Using virtual and augmented reality with Vive.
Alex Trollope
This pilot project aims to test the application the Vive System initially in a small cohort using two devices and to explore how effective the Vive system is at engaging students in a fun and interactive way when learning about anatomy.
Interactive and adaptive histology resource
Alex Trollope
This project aims to produce an interactive, adaptive learning resource that allows students to view high quality images of JCU Anatomy slides.
Mixed Reality and its applications in anatomy - HoloAnatomy.
Alex Trollope
This pilot project will trial two HoloLens 2 headsets in a first year anatomy subject, with a view to expand into other subjects. The HoloLens is a mixed reality headset that immerses students in a virtual learning experience, and enhances students learning and engagement in anatomy.
