Professor Coiera is an internationally recognised leader in health informatics research. He is the Director of the NHMRC Centre for Research Excellence in e-health and the Foundation Professor in Medical Informatics at Macquarie University (2014- ), and held a similar role at UNSW (1999-2014). He is also the Director of the Centre for Health Informatics at Macquarie University I have a broad range of interests in the application of information and communication technologies (e-Health) to solving health service delivery problems. I emphasise the importance of developing robust theoretical work to support the applied nature of much of this discipline.
Working with my colleagues I am currently exploring topics in patient safety informatics, consumer e-health, translational bioinformatics, evidence-based decision support, text summarisation methods to support scientific discovery and I have a long standing interest in clinical communication. I have a growing interest in understanding the systemic nature of the problems faced in healthcare, and their formal analysis. Perhaps this is the beginning of a new 'implementation' science.
