Background

About Sue Walker

My research and teaching focus on processes to capture timely and accurate health information in an increasingly complex and fast paced environment. I have undertaken considerable work in small and developing countries to support improvements in the availability of morbidity and mortality data. I am a qualified Health Information Management professional, with postgraduate qualifications in public health and health services management. Prior to joining QUT in 1994, I worked in public and private hospitals in Sydney and Brisbane, was a data manager at the Queensland Cancer Registry and a policy officer in the Statistical Services Branch of Queensland Health. I was recently a member of the Global Health Workforce Council, which developed core international curricula for the education of Health Information Managers, Health Informaticians and Health ICT professionals. Currently, I am a full graduate member of the Health Information Management Association of Australia, the Chair of the Association’s Editorial Board, and a member of the Editorial Review panel and International Special Interest Group. I work with the World Health Organization Family of International Classifications Network, primarily on education and mortality issues.
