The Registry of Senior Australians (ROSA) is a unique data platform based at SAHMRI designed to improve the health and wellbeing of older Australians that have entered the aged care sector. This ‘big data’ project is the first large scale resource of its kind in Australia, connecting existing data silos at both the state and federal levels to reveal a more complete picture of how older people navigate the aged care and health care sectors, and how this impacts their overall health outcomes and quality of life.

This week the ROSA Research Team were thrilled to be awarded the “Best application of business intelligence to leverage value from Big Data” at the Information Technology in Aged Care (ITAC) 2020 Conference Awards in Brisbane. The ROSA team dedicated their award to the tireless work of the ACATs and to the older people seeking aged care services that they are working to help.
