Wiser healthcare: better value care for all Australians [ 11/1/2021 - 10/31/2026 ]

Research Grant

Brief description This CRE develops a new solutions-based approach to overuse of unnecessary, ineffective healthcare. Overuse causes harm and diverts resources from areas of need. We will produce new solutions to address four drivers of overuse. We will: build health literacy in patients, communities and health professionals; respond to changing screening and diagnostic technology; address financial drivers; and change clinical practices, to minimise harm and waste, achieving more sustainable healthcare for all.
