Diamantina Health Partners is Queensland’s first Academic Health Science Centre (AHSC), bringing together the state’s leading hospitals and universities to improve care for patients in the community. Diamantina Health Partners unites eight of Queensland’s top hospitals, universities and research institutes: * Princess Alexandra Hospital * Mater Health Services * (Translational Research Institute ) * The University of Queensland * Queensland University of Technology * (Metro South Addiction and Mental Health Services ) * (UQ Health Care ) * (Inala Indigenous Health Service ) Combined, the partner organisations treat one million patients per year, educate 100,000 students per year, including some 8000 in health sciences, and expend over $3 billion on their objectives, including over $300 million on research. That means better and faster treatments for some of the community’s most devastating diseases and conditions. By bringing together scientists, educators, clinicians and the community, Diamantina Health Partners aims to improve the health of the population by taking the discoveries made in biomedical research labs and translating them directly to patient care. Diamantina Health Partners is based on the internationally recognised Academic Health Science Centre ‘tripartite’ model, which aspires to combine patient care, education and research. On 24 July 2014, Diamantina Health Partners joined with Children's Health Queensland and the Mayne Health Science Alliance to form (Brisbane Diamantina Health Partners ): Queensland's first Academic Health Science System. ==History== In early 2010 and 2011, a group of Brisbane hospital, university and community health care practitioners, administrators, educators and researchers had several meetings to consider the feasibility of establishing an AHSC.〔 On 18 July 2011, Diamantina Health Partners was officially launched, bringing together eight Queensland institutions with a shared vision and mission to deliver better health outcomes by integrating innovation and excellence in health research, clinical education, and patient care. The partnership is named after Lady Diamantina Bowen. Born in 1833, Lady Bowen initiated and worked for several charities, including the Lady Bowen Lying-In Hospital, the Diamantina Home for Incurables, and the Sisters of Mercy — the Catholic order that established Mater Health Services in Brisbane. The Princess Alexandra Hospital Campus, on which Diamantina Health Partners is located, has a rich history in health care. It's predecessors on the site include: * 1901 – Diamantina Hospital for Chronic Diseases * 1943 – South Brisbane Auxiliary Hospital * 1956 – South Brisbane Hospital * 1960 – Princess Alexandra Hospital The (Translational Research Institute )(TRI), which houses Diamantina Health Partners on the Princess Alexandra Hospital Campus, is the 1st institute in Australia conceived on the basis of the importance of translation in the field of medical research. The (Translational Research Institute ) is a joint venture between (The University of Queensland’s Diamantina Institute ), (Queensland University of Technology’s Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation ), (Mater Research ) and (the Princess Alexandra Hospital’s Centres for Health Research ). With 650 researchers, clinicians and educators working together, the institute’s collective expertise across common and serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes, HIV, malaria, obesity, children’s health, and inflammatory, bone and joint diseases is improving public health and enhancing preventative treatments. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diamantina Health Partners」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
