RESEARCH INTERESTS

Stephanie's research is focused on optimising the safety and quality of
patient care. Stephanie conducted one of the first studies of the trajectory
of clinical deterioration in acute ward patients prior to Medical Emergency
Team (MET) activation and the utilisation of pre MET escalation systems. Her
research was significant as it has highlighted that there were frequent and
repeated opportunities to recognise and respond to early clinical
deterioration before the need for MET activation.
Stephanie's other research interest is health workforce, particularly
registered nurses' transition to specialty practice and graduate
employability. Stephanie's work has a particular focus on postgraduate
specialty nursing students' perceptions of the educational pedagogy, Team-
Based Learning, and its perceived influence on the acquisition of professional
skills and attributes.
