Career Summary

Biography

Research Expertise

Dr Howley is an Associate Professor in Statistics who is nationally and internationally recognised as a leader and award winning academic in Statistics and Education and broader fields of statistical application.

Dr Howley's primary research focuses on Bayesian hierarchical modeling and its application to foster quality improvement activity in health care, through improved methods for analysing, reporting and monitoring clinical indicator data. Dr Howley’s research addresses performance measurement and systems improvement which also extends beyond the health care field, with publications, grants and consulting spanning the fields of education, business, management and industry. This has involved collaborative work with the Australian Council on Health Care Standards, Health Services Research Group, Taipei Medical University, Taiwan Health and other universities resulting in many invited conference presentations nationally and internationally.

Dr Howley is a 2015 National Award Winner (Office for Learning and Teaching Citation) and 2014 UoN Vice-Chancellor’s Award Winner for Teaching Excellence and Contribution to Student Learning (University-wide). Dr Howley leads the Statistical Education Section of the National Statistical Society of Australia and coordinates the national delivery of an international statistics competition.

Dr Howley is a member of the Priority Research Centre CARMA, as well as NIER and HMRI, at The University of Newcastle and serves on international editorial boards and conference committees.

Teaching Expertise
Dr Howley has taught all levels of undergraduate Statistics courses and courses for Master of Statistics and MBA programs, both on-campus and online. His expertise lies with teaching statistical courses (including introductory courses, regression, experimental and questionnaire design, quality improvement courses, Total Quality Management), particularly to non-statistically minded people, and has resulted in a National Teaching Award from the Office of Learning and Teaching in 2015.

Dr Howley's expertise covers Statistics, Total Quality Management, Statistical Quality Control, Business Statistics and Business Research Methods. Dr Howley designed and presented two-day seminars on Continuous Improvement to organisations as well as creating and coordinating the inaugural delivery of the Statistic's Disciplines first online (web-based) course, Total Quality Management.

Â© 2017 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group Integrating clinical indicators (CIs) within the accreditation process has become a national priority and proposed policy in Taiwan for continuous quality improvement of healthcare. This study revealed important strategies required to support implementation of such policy. A survey of 249 surveyors was undertaken by questionnaire surrounding the use and perceptions of CIs of four nationwide quality measurement systems (QMSs). Five key messages were identified and interpreted in light of a holistic healthcare systems relationship model: (1) surveyorsÂ¿ use of CIs was positively associated with the level of their understanding of the indicators and hospitalsÂ¿ use; (2) hospital's use of CIs was positively associated with the length of time the QMS existed; (3) surveyors responded to abnormal CIs by assuming auditor, investigator, and/or consultant roles; (4) a gap exists between surveyorsÂ¿ perceptions of CIsÂ¿ suitability for key parties and their need in the accreditation process; (5) over half of surveyors reported that hospital accreditation needs improvement, with positive and negative comments about using CIs. Developing value-added reports, increased training and support, encouraging surveyors to assume multiple roles, and mandatory CI use would collectively better integrate CIs within the accreditation process and enhance relationships between QMS, hospital accreditation, and healthcare delivery systems.

Â© 2015 Australian Teacher Education Association. This study compared pre-service teachersÂ¿ perceptions of their professional competencies at two campuses of a large regional teacher education university, where one campus provided students 22% more hours of professional placement in schools and related educational settings. Students who had experienced more hours in schools and such settings were more positive about their, ability to apply their knowledge of students and how they learn, classroom management, professional knowledge and practice, and community engagement; however, when students felt well supported during professional experience, such differences diminished. Additional hours were not associated with pre-service teachersÂ¿ perceptions of their ability to apply subject content and teaching; plan, assess and report; and effective student communication. Researchers argued that this pointed to the crucial role of good classroom mentors in teacher professional experience but also the value of studentsÂ¿ tertiary teacher education in preparing them for classroom teaching.

Background: Root cause analysis (RCA) is often adopted to complement epidemiologic investigation for outbreaks and infection-related adverse events in hospitals; however, RCA has been argued to have limited effectiveness in preventing such events. We describe how an innovative systems analysis approach halted repeated scabies outbreaks, and highlight the importance of systems thinking for outbreaks analysis and sustaining effective infection prevention and control. Methods: Following RCA for a third successive outbreak of scabies over a 17-month period in a 60-bed respiratory care ward of a Taiwan hospital, a systems-oriented event analysis (SOEA) model was used to reanalyze the outbreak. Both approaches and the recommendations were compared. Results: No nosocomial scabies have been reported for more than 1975days since implementation of the SOEA. Previous intervals between seeming eradication and repeat outbreaks following RCA were 270days and 180days. Achieving a sustainable positive resolution relied on applying systems thinking and the holistic analysis of the system, not merely looking for root causes of events. Conclusion: To improve the effectiveness of outbreaks analysis and infection control, an emphasis on systems thinking is critical, along with a practical approach to ensure its effective implementation. The SOEA model provides the necessary framework and is a viable complementary approach, or alternative, to RCA.
