Her activity based funding work focuses on pricing and funding of health services, as well as performance monitoring and insights into healthcare trends. She also leads complex quantitative analysis and data-linkage projects. Anna says:
With the rising cost of healthcare and pressure of an ageing population, it’s critical to ensure our limited resources are spent and allocated as efficiently and effectively as possible, with a sound focus on immediate and long-term patient outcomes.
A keen advocate for collaboration, Anna brings numerous players together across the health ecosystem to inform her advice, gaining a deep understanding of the questions a client’s analytics need to answer. She also partners with internal teams to share her knowledge and develop their skills.
