Rural PHC access measures: Applicability to workforce planning and policies

2014 Robert Graham International Visiting Fellowship

This award was made to Dr Matthew McGrail of Monash University for the project, Rural PHC access measures: Applicability to workforce planning and policies. This project is investigating how GIS and large datasets can be efficiently and effectively utilised to underpin rural PHC policies relating to workforce planning and service delivery. This research will explore the wider application of McGrail’s earlier Australian Index of Access work to guide planning in areas of workforce shortage. McGrail will spend time at the Robert Graham Centre in Washington DC; in Chicago with Dr Wei Luo, and at the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research at The University of North Carolina.
