NRS567 Value Based Healthcare and Critical Inquiry (16)

This subject enables students to develop their capacity to improve health outcomes through the exploration of evolving approaches to healthcare such as Learning Health Systems and Value Based Healthcare. Students will utilise critical inquiry strategies to identify, appraise, utilise and plan research focused on delivering effective and efficient care at the advanced practice level, better health outcomes and improved experiences of receiving care.

Students will strengthen their capability to align care delivery with a person or groups experience of their health, to measure outcomes that matter to people accessing care, and develop integrated and comprehensive solutions to meet healthcare needs.

Students are encouraged to focus on a healthcare need specific to their current clinical context and develop a person-centred, evidence-informed and outcome-focused innovation.
