Abstract |
Explains the need for nurse-led Patient-at-Risk-Teams(PART) to prevent unnecessary ICU admissions. Investigates which nurse allocation policy between PART and ICU would result in the best outcomes for patients and hospitals. Provides econometric models to estimate the impact of critical care nurses on hospital length of stay. Proposes queueing and simulation models to obtain the optimal nurse allocation policy for minimising the ICU mortality rate. Validates proposed models at Middlemore Hospital from 2015 to 2016. Estimates the financial and mortality impact of allocating another nurse to PART per shift. |

Abstract |
Aims to develop a new empirical method for assessing the similarity of mental models in surgery, focusing on laparotomy; to begin the process of validation of the new approach; and to demonstrate how the new approach could be used in clinical practice. Develops a software application (Momento) to sort key tasks in order to capture the information on mental models regarding task sequence and responsibility. Asks 20 6-person operating room (OR) teams, each comprising 3 sub-teams consisting of anaesthesia, surgery and nursing, to complete Momento prior to 2 simulated emergency laparotomies. Suggests the Momento approach could be used to improve teamwork in OR. |

Abstract |
Comprises three essays on the economics of health-care delivery in hospitals: considers the relationship between gender and/or ethnic concordance between a doctor and patient, and the number of diagnostic tests ordered during a hospital stay; estimates the impact of doctor-patient demographic concordance (where doctor and patient share the same ethnic group and/or gender) on a doctor's decision-making for diagnostic resources and medical treatments; calculates the relationship between ward-level nursing hours and a patient's health outcome, e.g. mortality and length of ward stay. Uses a detailed nursing-staff dataset, a novel instrumental variable for nursing hours (the amount of sick and bereavement leave taken by nurses on a ward) and the separate effect of nursing and patient hours in a ward, on a patient's health outcome. |

Abstract |
Performs a feasibility study in which eight experienced ED nurses attempted to provide Screening and Brief Intervention (SBI) to as many of their patients as possible over a one-month period, using the ASSIST-Lite screening tool. Audits the patients' charts to see how many received the SBI. Uncovers an inverse correlation between the number of patients presenting to the ED and the number of screenings undertaken by the nurses, who were given semi-structured interviews. Details three themes: the nurses attitudes towards SBI, their working conditions, and the ED environment. |

Abstract |
Aims to understand the factors that encourage motivation and engagement of caregivers who are relatively poorly paid, with limited training, but who are required to provide personal care to an increasingly frail population. Undertakes an initial exploratory study, with participants from four rural aged-residential care (ARC) facilities, to identify three key themes that influence caregiver motivation. Subsequently develops these initial themes, within a 42-bed facility, to explore how to encourage caregiver motivation. Bases the four-step process on Lewin’s cycle: plan, act, observe, and reflect. Establishes an advisory group of caregivers who develop a nine-point action plan, accepted by management and implemented in the facility. |
