Biography

Ms Lujic has particular expertise in the analysis of routinely collected health data, longitudinal person-based data and linked health data. She is a chief investigator on the NHMRC-funded Indigenous Health Outcomes Patient Evaluation (IHOPE) project using linked hospital data to investigate factors contributing to inequalities in hospital outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Her current projects include the validation of comorbidity in the NSW hospital administrative data, and a larger body of work exploring comorbidity and multimorbidity concepts in NSW with regards to prevalence, trajectories and implications for healthcare utilisation and costs. Her other most recent projects include a study on healthcare amenable deaths and the utilisation of home and community care services in NSW.
