Congenital Heart Disease Long-term Improvements in Functional Health+ (CHD LIFE +) - AusHSI Children with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) are at elevated risk of neurodevelopmental challenges, developmental delays and other learning, psychosocial and behavioural difficulties.

If you’d like to know more about the CHD Life + project www.aushsi.org.au/aushsi-resea...

Today I get to do one of the best parts of my job. The @aushsi.bsky.social team have gathered our partners and stakeholders for the culmination of our 5yr MRFF project to improve neurodevelopment outcomes for kids with CHD for a National Priority Setting meeting to identify "what’s next”.

But you do get these guys.

Except I need to remember to get my washing off the line before dark or the bats poo on it!

#AusHSI Prof Will Parsonage is one of more than 20 experts from across the world involved in a new @thelancet.bsky.social Commission calling on the medical profession to treat coronary #heartdisease as a lifelong condition, which has the potential to save 8.7 million lives every year: bit.ly/3XEMd5G

@drgregaarons.bsky.social if you know of anyone looking to spend a few years o/s… we’d be open to discussing relocation costs. Would be grateful if you could spread the word for us.

We’re hiring! Level B and Level C #Implementation Scientists. Research-only, 3yrs. Working across multiple projects.

From #digitalhealth to authentic community engagement and everything in between, the #AusHSI team left #HSR24 feeling energised and inspired by the connections that were made and #healthservices research explored.

Check out our conference recap and presentation highlights: bit.ly/aushsi13hsr24

Really enjoyed this morning’s symposium from Wesley Research Institute and colleagues on virtual healthcare. So relevant given the stresses on our health system around workforce, equity of access, and rising costs. Well done all!
#HSR24

Given they’re a “rich” country and could easily use equity as a modifier in their decision making (which would be one of the only reasons for dismissing the use of QALYs) it sadly begs the question whether there’s political/commercial influence on that decision to eschew evidence.

I’ve always found it a bit gobsmacking the the US actually ban the use of QALYs in healthcare decision making! Mike Drummond asks the #HSR24 audience if we’re aware of any other instance of exclusion of research evidence being legislated!

I really love this photo of our AusHSI #ImplementationScience team… makes them look like super heroes!

Such a lovely evening, was great meeting everyone. #HSR24

…and as Mel tells us about alert fatigue, up pops an alert on the conference app… about us! Oops. Sorry everyone! 😆

Kicking off day 2 of #HSR24 with Mel Baysari on Decision Support. No surprise that alert fatigue is worse than ever.

In the lead up to #HSR24 this week we’ve been featuring some @aushsi.bsky.social #DigitalHealth research.

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

Science! 💕
