Associate Professor Julie Johnson
    Australian Institute of Health Innovation
    Statement of Interests:

    Julie K. Johnson, MSPH, PhD is Associate Professor in the Faculty of Medicine and Deputy Director of the Centre for Clinical Governance Research at the University of New South Wales in Sydney Australia. Most recently, she was an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Chicago. A/Professor Johnson’s career interests involve building a series of collaborative relationships to improve the quality and safety of health care through teaching, research, and clinical improvement. Her ultimate goal is to translate theory into practice while generating new knowledge about the best models for improving care. A/Professor Johnson has a master’s degree in public health from the University of North Carolina and a PhD in evaluative clinical sciences from Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. The area of focus for her doctoral research was building an understanding of the structure, process, and outcomes of the clinical microsystem – the small group of providers and staff that care for a defined population of patients. She uses qualitative research methods – including focus groups, interviews, and observational studies – to better understand processes of care and the effect of the care process on clinical teams, teamwork, and patients and families. While on the faculty at University of Chicago, she used qualitative methods to study errors in ambulatory pediatric settings, to conduct observations in pediatric cardiac surgery, to observe how clinical teams function on inpatient medicine rounds, and to improve handovers of patient care.

Ms Sally Nathan
    School of Public Health and Community Medicine
    Statement of Interests:

    Sally's career has been focused on giving voice to consumers and the community, in particular those who have been historically excluded from participation and decision-making in societal organisations and structures, including complex health systems. Sally is a social scientist who uses qualitative and quantitative methods in her research within a participatory framework where research participants are actively involved in the research process. Sally has theorised and empiricised consumer/community exclusion and participation in a number of areas, including health service decision-making and governance (the topic of her PhD due for completion in 2010), advocacy by the non-government sector, capacity building for health development, adolescent drug and alcohol treatment and refugee settlement. She has published papers relating to consumer and community participation, the use of evidence in policy-making, the advocacy role of the non-government sector and the workings of the health system, in peer-reviewed journals and consumer focused publications. Sally is first Chief Investigator on an Australian Research Council Linkage funded three-year grant: Social Cohesion through Football (2009-2011), a cohort impact study investigating the implementation of a sport for social development program over three years.
