There are huge gaps in our understanding of how legal rules and processes impact population health and the quality of health care services in Australia. This research program will begin to fill those gaps by addressing topical issues such as medical negligence litigation, the coroner's role in injury prevention, and the use of medical science in the courtroom. The findings will be useful to government policymakers, regulators, and judges, as well as professionals working in both the legal and health care fields. But most importantly, the findings will serve patients by helping to shape strategies and reforms that enable Australia's health care system to deliver services that are safer, of higher quality, fairer, and more efficient.

我们对法律规则和程序如何影响澳大利亚人口健康和保健服务质量的理解存在巨大差距。这个研究项目将通过解决诸如医疗过失诉讼、验尸官在伤害预防中的作用以及在法庭上使用医学等主题问题来填补这些空白。研究结果对政府决策者、监管机构和法官，以及在法律和卫生保健领域工作的专业人员都很有用。但最重要的是，这些发现将有助于制定战略和改革，使澳大利亚的医疗保健系统提供更安全、更高质量、更公平、更高效的服务，从而为患者服务。
