Abstract
It is my pleasure to introduce the Monash Clinical Registries Portfolio 2018, the third in this series, and my last in my role as Head of School, Public Health
and Preventive Medicine. It is wonderful to see the number and scope of our registries continue to grow in 2018, as in previous years. In particular, we are proud to announce the establishment of the Australian Dementia Network (ADNeT) clinical registry at Monash; the involvement of Monash in the longstanding Bi-national Colorectal Cancer Audit (BCCA); and the recognition of the Australian National Diabetes Audit (ANDA) as a part of the Monash Clinical Registries program. Again, our existing registries continue to go from strength to strength, with the Bariatric Surgery Registry recruiting over 60,000 participants from Australia and New Zealand, and our Australian Breast Device Registry recruiting 38,900 participants as of 31 December 2018. I would like to thank all our registry funders, participating sites, patients, committee members and Monash staff for the outstanding work that is done to collect and report on quality and outcomes of care, that is so critical for ensuring the best clinical outcomes for all. Professor John McNeil As the incoming Head of School, I would like to acknowledge the vision and leadership with which Professor John McNeil has established the registry program at the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine. John has for many decades been a steadfast advocate of clinical registries, and their centrality to good quality healthcare. The Monash Clinical Registries Portfolio 2018 boasts 32 clinical registries, and related activities including international collaborations and registry harmonisation projects. As the clinical lead of the Australian National Diabetes Audit (ANDA), I too am passionate about the role of clinical registries in supporting clinical best practice, and in providing an evidence-base in which to determine health policy, and on which to base clinical research. I too thank the tireless work of so many clinicians, their support staff, Monash staff, and the participants themselves. Without your efforts, our registry program would not be possible.
