Biography

I am a health economist focusing on applied health systems research, including evaluation of palliative care interventions across various healthcare settings and the affordability of healthcare for households in Ireland. I have experience in engagement with health policy makers in Ireland throughout the Health Service Executive, the Department of Health and the government. In addition to my research on palliative care in Ireland, I have also collaborated on studies in the UK, US and Jordan.

    • Understanding inequities in palliative care and providing for future need (UP)
  • Summary
    • The aim of this 18 month collaborative project is to use mixed methods to model the palliative care needs of older people in Ireland; calculate associated costs (including costs to service users and effects on financial risk protection); and to provide understanding on why current knowledge regarding best practice on meeting need is not put into practice and what is required to effect change and deliver on equitable palliative care provision for older people. This work will support the work of the recent Sláintecare report in providing detailed resource and financial data to underpin Recommendation 4 that universal palliative care is provided within five years.

    • The International Access, Rights and Empowerment II (IARE II) Study
  • Summary
    • The IARE II study is a prospective cohort study to identify and understand the service use, preferences and palliative care needs* of a cohort of older people living with frailty and advanced disease in three-countries. We will follow how the needs and preferences evolve over time, and what predicts future circumstances in three cities. This study builds on IARE I, which investigated people who had already accessed palliative care. IARE II recruits people who have not yet accessed specialist palliative care. This allows us to directly investigate potentially unmet needs, and by making comparisons between IARE I and II we can better understand the inequities of palliative care access for different groups. By following people prospectively over time we are able to evaluate how their needs, service use, and preferences evolve and can therefore understand better the appropriate models of care and timing for palliative care involvement. To provide a multi-perspective understanding of the potentially complex needs of this group, IARE II relies on a mixed methods longitudinal design including prospective data collection (patient and carer surveys, a discrete choice experiment, qualitative interviews) and retrospective data collection (bereavement follow-back survey).

From November 2016 to May 2017, the Pathways team provided technical support for the Oireachtas Committee on the Future of Healthcare. Initially, the team hosted three workshops with the Committee and then assisted the Committee with its remit 'to devise cross-party agreement on a single long-term vision for health care and direction of health policy in Ireland'. This report from the Committee, The Sláintecare Report, was published in May 2017.

    • The International Access, Rights and Empowerment (IARE I) Study
  • Summary
    • Overall research aim The aim of the IARE study is to improve the rights of older adult palliative care patients and their carers by generating information regarding access (availability, accessibility, affordability, adequacy and acceptability) and empowerment of people requiring specialist palliative care in order to help secure equitable access to healthcare for this population. Summary of design A mixed methods design comprising three work packages. Work package one is a cross-sectional study to identify the profile of older adult patients who access palliative care services in four tertiary hospitals in three cities (the city hospitals) allowing for identification case-mix complexity; the characteristics and preferences of older adults who access palliative care and factors associated with access; their preferences for involvement in decision-making and associated factors; and the development of a measurement tool for the health economic evaluation of palliative care interventions. Work package two is a qualitative study to establish empowerment as understood by older adults who access specialist palliative care (i.e., the conceptual development of the construct of empowerment), the barriers and facilitators experienced and encountered. Work package three is a carer study to establish accessibility, availability, affordability and acceptability of palliative care services through the use of an adapted version of a postal follow-back survey (QUALYCARE survey) supplemented with additional items to examine carers' financial hardship, demographics, care satisfaction, burden, and preferences.

  • Summary
    • We aim to use patient-based data to develop a standardised clinical diagnostic tool that will predict the most appropriate treatment for an edentulous individual. The objectives of this project are first, to identify the key needs of edentulous people using qualitative methodology, purposive sampling and semi-structured interviews ; these needs will be used to produce a condition-specific subjective health status measure, mapped to a taxonomy for quality of life. Second, we will investigate edentulous individuals before and after conventional, then complex treatment to find the baseline characteristics of patients who achieve success with the different treatments. Third, we will measure the health gain and cost of conventional and complex treatments. This information will form the basis for more equal access to care and efficient use of health resources at primary and multidisciplinary care levels.
