Monash Institute of Health Services Research

(part of The School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine)

The Monash Institute of Health Services Research (MIHSR ) is part of the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine (SPHPM) which encompasses MIHSR, Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine (DEPM), Department of Forensic Medicine and the Centre for Obesity Research & Education (CORE).

MIHSR was established in 1999 as a conjoint entity of Southern Health and Monash University in response to the challenge of ensuring people have a safe and effective encounter with the healthcare system. We improve healthcare outcomes through applied research, education, advocacy and innovation in the areas of clinical management, service delivery and health policy.
The Institute incorporates a multidisciplinary team with expertise in the synthesis of evidence, implementation of best practice and evaluation of change.  We work together with clinicians, consumers, managers and policy makers to provide an independent perspective.
We are an Institute of academic knowledge, strength and eminence within Monash University consisting of participating centres. Our research and education programs draw upon staff from these centres creating a truly multidisciplinary environment. The Institute is proud to contribute to the growing Australian and global community of health researchers and educators.
