Christine completed a Bachelor in Health Information Management (Honours) at La Trobe University in 2005. Initially working as a clinical coder in a large Victorian hospital, she then took up the role of project officer in the Information Management Strategy Unit at the Victorian Department of Human Services.

Christine contributed to the information management reform in health and aged care programs by developing tools to improve information management, such as the Metadata Repository (MDR), a database containing the metadata of each data collection reported to the department.

A paper from her honours thesis on investigating ‘flagged’ ICD-10-AM diagnosis codes in identifying patterns of adverse events was published in 2006. Christine further contributed to research on comparing voluntary reporting of sentinel events with routinely-coded hospital acquired diagnoses.

Christine is interested in the role of data standards in improving data quality and access to collected information, and how existing data collections can be better utilised to disseminate and access information.

For her PhD, Christine will investigate the use of routinely collected data, specifically ‘flagged’ ICD-10-AM codes, to monitor adverse events with a focus on infections.
