Miriam M WileyResearch ProfessorProfessor Miriam M. Wiley is Head of the Health Research and Information Division at the ESRI and joint programme coordinator for Health Research. After receiving her primary degree in Social Science from University College Cork, she proceeded to complete an M.Sc.(ECON) at The London School of Economics and Political Science and a Ph.D. in Social Policy and Planning at The Heller School, Brandeis University, Boston. Specific research interests include the financing of health and hospital services and reform of approaches to health service funding, reimbursement, management, organisation and delivery. On joining the ESRI Professor Wiley pioneered research on the development and application of case mix measures in the acute hospital sector and more recently has collaborated on the European Observatory publication on the Irish Health System and a HRB/HSE funded project on Projecting The Impact of Demographic Change on the Demand for and Delivery of Health Care in Ireland. In addition to her research commitments, she has management responsibility for the Hospital In-Patient Enquiry (HIPE) and the National Perinatal Reporting Scheme (NPRS). These national health information systems are managed, supported and developed by a multi disciplinary team on behalf of the HSE. The HIPE system operates in all acute hospitals nationally and involves the collection, processing and analysis of data on over 1.3m hospital discharges annually. The NPRS operates in all maternity units and hospitals and involves the collection of perinatal data on over 70,000 births annually. Professor Wiley has undertaken research and consultancies for major health agencies and government departments at the national level and for a wide range of international organisations, including the European Commission, the Council of Europe, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the World Bank, the World Health Organisation and the US Office of Technology Assessment. Appointments to a wide range of national and international bodies have provided opportunities for multi-disciplinary and multi-national collaboration towards the objective of advancing health research in the clinical, service and policy environment. |
