Bio Research Publications

Dr Elaine Lum is Assistant Professor, Health Services & Systems Research, Duke-NUS Medical School and an Advanced Practice Pharmacist (Australia).

Elaine is an implementation scientist and health services researcher with extensive clinical experience, as well as in quality and safety of health systems, and education/training of healthcare practitioners. Her current work in implementation research focusses on embedding innovations in healthcare — new care pathways, digital health (eHealth, mHealth, healthcare-related AI) — into routine clinical practice and health services.

She is interested in projects that enable people to be healthy and to access a minimum standard of appropriate healthcare, wherever they live and whatever their capacity to pay. She believes in the value and power of collaborating with people of integrity who dare to do things differently and fail fast, to bring about game-changing practices and innovations for better patient care.
