MU research centre
December 6, 2013
Macquarie University has
launched a new research, advocacy
and educational body, the Centre
for the Health Economy.
This comes as a response to the
increasing difficulty for healthrelated
industries to access data
across the whole sector, with the
aim of helping public and private
organisations to understand the
sector-wide impacts of intersecting
research, technologies, systems,
people and processes involved in
the business of health.
According to Professor Mark
Gabbott, Executive Dean of
Macquarie University’s Faculty
of Business and Economics,“for
the first time health-related
industries will be able to access
data that looks at how new health
innovations can create knock
on effects into different health
industries, like service suppliers,
pharmaceutical companies, health
insurance providers and healthcare
organisations.”
The Centre for the Health
Economy has already undertaken
a joint research project with the
Australian Self Medication Industry
(ASMI) looking at the role of selfcare
in driving better healthcare
outcomes for Australians.
