Guests: Dr. Shane Kelly and Dr. Clare Morgan
Presenter: Wayne Bucklar
Guest Bios: Dr Kelly commenced in the role of Chief Executive Officer, Mater Health Services in July 2015. Mater Hospitals are nationally renowned for a strong positive organisational culture of compassionate care, and patient and staff safety. The Mater provides over 1,000 hospital beds and a diverse range of community-based services.

Dr Clare Morgan joined Mater Pathology as a Consultant Haematologist and Medical Director of Queensland Cord Blood Bank at Mater Health in 2007. Dr Morgan was appointed to the position of Chief Medical Officer in 2014, and in addition to
managing Mater’s clinical safety and quality unit, she has a broad mandate to participate in the development of an improved approach to clinical governance, clinical service delivery, and teaching and research across all Mater facilities and services.

Segment overview: For our Innovation in Health Service and Hospital Management Segment, we welcome Dr. Shane Kelly and Dr. Clare Morgan from Mater Health Services. They are here to share the organization’s background as well as insightful information about the wide range of services that they provide. They make sure that they are delivering the highest standard and quality of clinical care with low variability and high predictability and always evidence based. In order to achieve that, they are very much about bringing together the clinical services of the health arm of the organization with their education and research components so that the research is informing evidence based practice and the education arm is helping them to implement it through changes at the core phase. They are particularly focused in the education space on simulation, utilization simulation to bring about learning and development and change. They believe that other innovation comes from really from the ground up, rather than being pushed down and so even in their obstetric space, they have some fairly innovative people who have done things a bit differently to what you would normally expect and really for the benefit, for the purposes of trying to provide even better care in an efficient way and backed up by the evidence.
