What 'sparks' innovation in rural health settings: A case study

Lloyd, Sheree (2019) What 'sparks' innovation in rural health settings: A case study. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Rural health settings face challenges in delivering and sustaining health services for their communities. Performance in rural health settings can be constrained by resources, staffing and the tyranny of distance from major centres. This research set out to determine how innovation might contribute to solutions and used a case study methodology to understand the organisational and contextual factors that support innovation in rural health settings. Further, the research examined how publicly available health data can be used to describe performance in rural health services through visualisation and the assembly of measures reflecting access, equity, quality, safety, sustainability and employee engagement.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
