This case study focuses on the disclosures of thirty seven companies and a unique research approach to making their corporate sustainability performance more open, comparable and engaging. A group of 40 students at the University of Wollongong worked in a structured way to aggregate comparable data on corporate sustainability on a selection of metrics related to the SDGs. This report offers an in depth look at one example of the kind of projects that WikiRate and the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) have been running since 2016, involving more than 2,000 students. For this case study, WikiRate staff reviewed …

Densification of cities and suburbs is a contentious issue for many communities in lower-density settings. Local opposition to densification is often premised on concerns about the inadequacy of existing infrastructure to support growing populations and is strongest and most successful in wealthier neighbourhoods. While the urban consolidation agenda in cities such as Melbourne and Sydney is justified in policy contexts as a strategy to improve utilisation of existing infrastructure in built up areas, densification over time also produces new demand for services. Whether or not densification drives new infrastructure spending is therefore an important question in the governance of social …
Examining The High Users Of Hospital Resources: Implications Of A Profile Developed From Australian Health Insurance Claims Data, Joanna Khoo, Helen M. Hasan, Kathy Eagar
Examining The High Users Of Hospital Resources: Implications Of A Profile Developed From Australian Health Insurance Claims Data, Joanna Khoo, Helen M. Hasan, Kathy Eagar
Australian Health Services Research Institute
Objective To develop and examine a profile of the demographic, hospital admission and clinical characteristics of high users of hospital resources within a cohort of privately insured Australians.Methods Hospital admissions claims data from a group of private health insurance funds were analysed. The top 1% of hospital users were selected based on three measures of resource utilisation: number of admissions, total bed days and total insurance benefits paid. The demographic, hospital admission and clinical characteristics data were compared for these three measures of resource utilisation.Results Compared with the general insured population, the three high-use cohorts are older, have more public …

Normative Data For Adults Referred For Specialist Pain Management In Australia, Hilarie Tardif, Megan B. Blanchard, Janelle M. White, Meredith P. Bryce
Australian Health Services Research Institute
Nicholas and colleagues have developed an extensive normative dataset for a range of assessment tools used in pain management services. The present paper aims to provide normative data for the measures used in the ePPOC minimum dataset for a large cohort of adults referred to pain management services throughout Australia. This information will provide a description of the people seeking specialist pain management in Australia during the period 2014-17, and allow pain management services to compare scores for individuals seen at their service to these group values.
Normative Data For Children And Adolescents Referred For Specialist Pain Management In Australia, Hilarie Tardif, Megan B. Blanchard, Meredith P. Bryce, Janelle M. White
Normative Data For Children And Adolescents Referred For Specialist Pain Management In Australia, Hilarie Tardif, Megan B. Blanchard, Meredith P. Bryce, Janelle M. White
Australian Health Services Research Institute
This paper aims to provide normative data for the PaedePPOC measures used by specialist paediatric pain management services. This information will provide a description of the children and adolescents referred for specialist pain management in Australia during the period from January 2014 to June 2018, allowing pain management services to compare scores for individuals seen at their service to these group values.

How to achieve fast and efficient resource allocation is an important optimization problem of resource management in cloud data center. On one hand, in order to ensure the user experience of resource requesting, the system has to achieve fast resource allocation to timely process resource requests; on the other hand, in order to ensure the efficiency of resource allocation, how to allocate multi-dimensional resource requests to servers needs to be optimized, such that server's resource utilization can be improved. However, most of existing approaches focus on finding out the mapping of each specific resource request to each specific server. This …

Big data analytics (BDA) is emerging as a game changer in healthcare. While the practitioner literature has been speculating on the high potential of BDA in transforming the healthcare sector, few rigorous empirical studies have been conducted by scholars to assess the real potential of BDA. Drawing on the health care delivery value chain (CDVC) and an extensive literature review, this exploratory study aims to discuss current peer-reviewed articles dealing with BDA across the CDVC and discuss future research directions.
