To work on the EPSRC funded research project “A decision support tool for
forecasting and planning resource use in long-term care for elderly people”

4.      PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTABILITIES
1.      To develop a prototype decision support tool to enable purchasers and
providers of long-term care services to evaluate and cost alternative options
for care.
2.      To develop and validate Markov models of survival in long-term care.
3.      To collect and incorporate costing data on resource utilisation in long-
term care with the models.
4.      To maintain close contact with the various collaborating parties
involved in the project.

This post is funded by the EPSRC under the Health Informatics initiative and
involves the collaboration of Health Care Purchasers and Providers. It is
building upon recent success and strategy of the Health and Social Care
Modelling Group (HSCMG), which research focuses on developing models and
decision support tools to compare, contrast, evaluate, plan and optimise health
care services.

The overall aim of the project is to develop a user-friendly policy evaluation
toolkit, which would enable local long-term care planners to investigate
alternative policies on admission and discharge and their associated costs and
functional impacts; to simulate changes in local composition of long-term care
resources; and to assess the benefit of rehabilitation

The HSCMG is an interdisciplinary group of academic staff, research assistants,
and PhD students, currently based within the Department of Mathematics at the
Cavendish School of Computer Science. It is one of the five main research
groups within the School.

6.      DIMENSIONS
The post holder will be an active researcher with particular interest in the
development of decision support tools for health care. As the principal
researcher in this EPSRC project, the post holder will have a great deal of

The outputs of this project will have national, as well as international
relevance to the planning of long-term care services for older people.
