Expertise
Professor Peter Howley is a national and international leader and award winning academic and practitioner in statistics, systems and process improvement, quality control, data analytics, education & STEM.
Professor Howley's primary research focuses on statistical process control, systems evaluation and improvement, and statistical modeling, design and assessment in public health and clinical settings to foster advancement of health care and clinical management locally, nationally and internationally. This has included informing policy and improvement through holistic strategies for integrating national clinical indicator and healthcare accreditation systems, improved methods for analysing, reporting, monitoring and utilising clinical indicator data, and assessment and design of new health care and clinical practices.
With a focus on systems thinking, data science and performance improvement, Dr Howley's research addresses performance measurement and systems improvement, through the lens of statistics, which also extends beyond the health care field, with publications, grants, consulting and invited speaker and presenter roles spanning the fields of healthcare, education, business, management, industry, equity and STEM.
Peter collaborates across health, government, education and industry sectors to improve systems and outcomes. Examples include: Taipei Medical University/Taiwan Health (Health, Systems Improvement & QMS), Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (systems improvement - national reporting on clinical indicators), Hunter Medical Research Institute/HNE Health (Type 1 Diabetes Clinical trials, Nutrition & Dietetics, Paediatrics), STEM Industry Schools Partnership, AMPControl (Quality Control), Health Services Research Group, NESA/ACARA (Education - curriculum: expert advisor), Government/Higher Education collaborative grants (Equity, Indigenous engagement), STEM Education and Outreach for schools and the broader community.
He has assumed local, national and international advisory and executive board appointments, as well as director and community- and industry-engaged leadership roles.
Peter has led national community engagement initiatives as well as workforce development courses and workshops surrounding process and quality improvement, statistics and STEM.

Background: Emergency laparotomy (EL) is performed on about 15 500 patients in Australia each year. Aside from mortality there is significant concern about the possibility that previously independent patients discharged after EL will become reliant on long-term dependent care. This study aimed to establish the proportion of patients not returning to their pre-admission residence, a proxy for dependent care, following EL. |

Background: Risk assessment for emergency laparotomy (EL) is important for guiding decision-making and anticipating the level of perioperative care in acute clinical settings. While established tools such as the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program calculator (ACS-NSQIP), the National Emergency Laparotomy Audit Risk Prediction Calculator (NELA) ...[more] Background: Risk assessment for emergency laparotomy (EL) is important for guiding decision-making and anticipating the level of perioperative care in acute clinical settings. While established tools such as the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program calculator (ACS-NSQIP), the National Emergency Laparotomy Audit Risk Prediction Calculator (NELA) and the Portsmouth Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enumeration of Mortality and Morbidity calculation (P-POSSUM) are accurate predictors for mortality, there has been increasing recognition of the benefits from including measurements for frailty in a simple and quantifiable manner. Psoas muscle to 3rd lumbar vertebra area ratio (PM:L3) measured on CT scans was proven to have a significant inverse association with 30-, 90- and 365-day mortality in EL patients. |

Established surgical risk assessment tools (NELA Risk Prediction Calculator, P-POSSUM, ACS-NSQIP) are accurate predictors of morbidity and mortality. However, their multicomponent complexity limits their use in practice. Sarcopenia is associated with poorer surgical outcomes. This study tests for an association between a simple measure of radiological sarcopenia and mortality in EL patients in an Australian cohort. |

This study aimed to (1) assess adherence of Australasian paediatric T1D clinics to international guidelines on screening for disordered eating and (2) identify barriers and enablers to the use of screening tools for the identification of disordered eating. Methods: A 24-item survey covering five content domains: clinic characteristics, identification of disordered eating, screening tool use, training and competence, and pathways for referral, was sent to Australasian clinics caring for =150 children and adolescents with T1D. Results: Of 13 eligible clinics, 10 participated. Two reported rates of disordered eating of >20%, while eight reported rates < 5%. All clinics used the routine clinical interview as the primary method of screening for disordered eating. Only one used screening tools; these were not diabetes-specific or routinely used. Barriers to use of screening tools included shortage of time and lack of staff confidence around use (n = 7, 70%). Enablers included staff training in disordered eating. Conclusions: Screening tools for disordered eating are not utilised by most Australasian paediatric T1D clinics. Overall, low reported rates of disordered eating suggest that it may be undetected, potentially missing an opportunity for early intervention.
