Research contributions

Braithwaite has published research on resilient healthcare,[5] implementation science,[6] health systems sustainability,[7] complexity science,[8] patient safety,[9] international healthcare reform,[10] professional cultures,[11] change and restructuring.[12][13]

Resilient Healthcare

From 2011 with colleagues including Professor Erik Hollnagel, University of Southern Denmark, and Professor Bob Wears, University of Florida, and as part of Denmark’s Resilient Health Care Net initiative, Braithwaite co-authored a series of books on resilient healthcare and Safety II.[14][15]

Implementation science

In 2017 Braithwaite was awarded a National Health and Medical Research Council project grant for the Centre for Research Excellence in Implementation Science in Oncology to turn research knowledge into effective patient-centred practice by bringing together researchers, policy makers, clinicians and patients.

Health system sustainability

In 2016 Braithwaite was awarded a National Health and Medical Research Council partnership centre grant to establish the Centre for Health System Sustainability to support the implementation of research-informed improvements in healthcare.

Complexity science and patient safety

Braithwaite has commented publicly on patient safety[16] and the complex nature[17][18][19][20] of healthcare systems and how the number of adverse events experienced by patients in hospital has not decreased.

In 2017, Braithwaite’s white paper Complexity Science in Healthcare – Aspirations, Approaches, Applications and Accomplishments[21] was published. It advocates for healthcare to be recognised as a complex adaptive system and outlines potential applications to healthcare in Australia and worldwide.

International healthcare reform

Braithwaite consults to the World Health Organization (WHO) and AusAid, particularly to the governments of East Timor, Laos, Papua New Guinea and the People's Republic of China; to WHO Centre for Health Development Kobe in Japan (also known as WHO Kobe Centre) and the Shanghai Municipal Health Bureau.

In 2017 Braithwaite edited Health Systems Improvement across the globe – success stories from 60 countries[22] - which invited authors from poor-, middle- and high-income countries to contribute articles illustrating where their health system has done well and providing lessons for other countries.
