We are a partnership, established with the vision of people like Ian McCrae at Orion Health, who has provided the majority of PDH funding. The nzRISK project is one of our favourites because it demonstrates true collaboration across healthcare, industry and academia, with major contributions from Auckland District Health Board and Orion Health. We\u2019re honoured to receive this award.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>nzRISK&nbsp;is an electronic tool designed to provide accurate risk assessments for patients undergoing surgery in New Zealand. Before development of&nbsp;nzRISK, tools used were based on historic, overseas data and were inaccurate, particularly for those at higher risk, such as&nbsp;M\u0101ori&nbsp;and Pacific patients. Today, clinicians and patients have free access to this tool at&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nzrisk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.nzrisk.com<\/a>,&nbsp;providing better information when assessing the risks and benefits of undergoing surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Auckland City Hospital Specialist Anaesthetist Dr Doug Campbell, clinical lead of the nzRISK team, says he\u2019s delighted to have the team\u2019s work acknowledged by the Hi-Tech Awards. \u201cAs a specialist anaesthetist caring for surgical patients, our group\u2019s primary focus in developing nzRISK was to provide improved risk information to New Zealand patients and improve the care of surgical patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orion Health Data Scientist Luke Boyle, who is the data analysis and modelling lead for nzRISK, is pleased to be part of such an \u2018awesome\u2019 team and says he\u2019s \u201cdelighted with the acknowledgement of the work we have done through winning this award.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Precision Driven Health (PDH) has won its category at the 2020 New Zealand Hi-Tech Awards 2020, held on Friday night, for the partnership\u2019s freely accessible surgical risk calculator, nzRISK.
