Patient Reported Outcomes To Improve Proactive & Patient-Centred Care for Heart Failure Patients

Description 
In collaboration with Monash Health, Victorian Heart Hospital and Victorian Heart Institute, we are seeking a medical, nursing or an allied health graduate interested in completing a PhD within an externally-funded project in cardiovascular disease. The project is nested with the Victoria Heart Hospital at Monash Clayton Campus and is focussed on developing and implementing electronic Patient Reported Outcomes Measures (ePROM) systems for heart failure patients. The proposed project will address current gaps in the palliative and supportive care of heart failure patients by enabling a platform for patients to be engaged in the care pathways. This program will also test and pilot a technology integrated, system wide, scalable care model to enhance patient care outcomes at the heart hospital. We are looking for applicants who: • are a medical, nursing or an allied health graduate intend to pursue further research in cardiovascular disease; or supportive and palliative care; • are wanting to pursue a clinical research career and receive comprehensive training and experience in mixed methods research; co-design and implementation sciences ; and bioinformatics; • are interested in joining an established multidisciplinary research team led by A/Professor Peter Poon
