Inaugural Associate Professor, Health System Sustainability, announced
Dr Yvonne Zurynski joins the team
The Australian Institute of Health Innovation (AIHI) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Yvonne Zurynski as the inaugural Associate Professor, Health System Sustainability.
This newly created position within Macquarie University’s Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences recognises the AIHI’s strategic role as host of the NHMRC Partnership Centre for Health System Sustainability.
Chief investigator with the Partnership Centre and AIHI founding director Professor Jeffrey Braithwaite said Associate Professor Zurynski’s extensive skills in research design and managing large national and international collaborations would be highly valued by the Centre.
In conjunction with Professor Braithwaite, Associate Professor Zurynski will help coordinate the Centre’s research efforts, contribute new research and work to ensure findings are practical in nature and able to be integrated into policy and practice across Australia’s health system.
Professor Braithwaite said, “We are bringing together inquiring minds to rethink how we deliver healthcare to make it sustainable into the future, and Associate Professor Zurynski will be integral to achieving this.”
The Centre was established to explore the issues affecting the sustainability of the healthcare system and to develop and evaluate interventions that would be meaningful and effective from a clinical, patient and economic perspective.
Associate Professor Zurynski was formerly the Director of Research, Australian Paediatric Surveillance Unit and at the Discipline of Child and Adolescent Health, Sydney Medical School, University of Sydney.
The Centre was established by the NHMRC under the partnership for Better Health Initiative with five funding partners including NHMRC, NSW Health, Bupa Health Foundation, the Western Australia Department of Health and the University of Notre Dame Australia.
