Researcher biography
Assoc Prof Andrew Staib is an internationally recognised academic leader in emergency medicine. He has led multiple large scale research and transformational projects including the analysis of over 16M episodes of emergency care, the digital transformation of emergency workflows in Queensland hospitals and the development of tools to predict emergency wait times. His work has been published in international journals and he is regularly asked to present at national and global meetings. He has established large and enduring systems to improve emergency care such as dashboards display metrics for monitoring emergency care, systems for virtual emergency care across Queensland, clincial immersion programs for UQ medical students and the application of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence to emergency care. Assoc Prof Staib is the recipient of several national awards including the national iaward for innovation for his work in emergency care data. Assoc Prof Staib is skilled at creating and maintaining high performing teams as is evidenced by his roles as Senior Director of Emergency Care for Metro South Health and Chair of the Queensland Emergency Department Advisory Panel.
