Caboolture Hospital\u2019s Senior Health Information Manager Leonie Beakey is using knowledge gained through study to make a positive difference in the workplace.<\/h4>\n

Leonie recently completed her Graduate Certificate in Health Services Innovation through the Australian Centre for Health Services Innovation (AusHSI).<\/p>\n

Run by the Queensland University of Technology, the Metro North-supported course aims to enable clinicians, administrators, and operational staff to develop, implement, and evaluate innovations within their own healthcare settings.<\/p>\n

As part of the two-year course, Leonie pitched ideas on how to improve her workplace with her final project focused on developing evidence-based practice for her coding teams, using qualitative research and the frameworks learnt within the course.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a whole new language to learn and was amazing to see the positive growth that can happen for myself and by extension, my team,\u201d Leonie said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe identified what we wanted to achieve and tested different ways to determine what worked.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of the process was to take a specific context, break it down to its generic components and apply the frameworks and strategies to get a better outcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve kept the changes that proved worthwhile and that has contributed to increased performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since completing the course, opportunities for more knowledge and learning have not stopped for Leonie with a reflective piece on her experience peer reviewed and accepted for publication in the Health Information Management Journal of Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommitting to the Grad Cert made me spend the time on self-improvement,\u201d Leonie said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud that I committed to it and made the most of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is so much change and uncertainty, this course will help us to read the landscape whilst constantly evaluating and improving.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of the course components were very practical and the environment was great. I felt supported and was able to learn from other students taking the course.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leonie has also joined the Metro North Knowledge, Translation, Innovation, and Implementation Hub (The Hub) planning group. Congratulations, Leonie!<\/p>\n<\/div>
