FUNDED RESEARCH
Professor Hickman's research program builds upon the crucial urgency to address unmet chronic health care needs in our ageing population, and moving care from a traditional acute episodic care model of treating one patient, one disease, to a person-centred, culturally safe care continuum model across care settings. Within her field, her research has transformed multidisciplinary team models, virtual care and improved the integration of health care. To do this she has received a career total of $2.9M in national competitive research funding, conducted 20 experimental studies, 3 clinical trials and several mixed methods studies to improve patient outcomes.
