Biography

Dr Robyn Clay-Williams leads a research stream in human factors and resilient healthcare. She currently holds a NSW Health EMC research fellowship in the field of health service and system design. Prior to her work in health services research, she was a military test pilot, an electronics engineer, and flight instructor. Dr Clay-Williams transitioned to healthcare seven years ago through a PhD, which in internationally recognised work, translated aviation teamwork concepts to healthcare via a randomised controlled trial evaluating a Crew Resource Management based training intervention. She has produced over 80 peer-reviewed research outputs. Specific areas of interest include teams and teamwork, decision-making, leadership, simulation, resilience engineering, and usability test and evaluation of medical devices and IT systems.

Key projects in which she is currently involved:

Investigating methods for improving productive safety in hospital Emergency Departments.
Deepening Our Understanding of Quality in Healthcare (DUQuA). A large, multifaceted NHMRC-funded project assessing the relationship between quality management systems and patient outcomes for AMI, stroke and hip fracture in 32 hospitals across Australia (all states territories except WA).
Development and implementation of a tool to identify innovation in surgery (Westmead Hospital and Macquarie University Hospital.
Development and implementation of a surgical decision making process to improve outcomes for frail patients. The new process involves pre-surgical consultation/discussion between patients, families, surgeons, intensivists, and anaesthetists (Townsville Hospital and Health Service).
