Fabrizio Carinci undertakes research to improve the organisation, delivery and ongoing development of health services focussing on:

• Clinical research based on needs identified by systematic review of existing evidence.
• Developing strategies for the implementation of evidence in health care policy and practice.
• Analysis of information on large health databases to inform policy and practice.
• Health systems development to enhance the organisation and delivery of health services.

Since 1997 he has developed an innovative research program in health systems analysis, underpinned by a multidisciplinary background in evidence based medicine, statistical methodology and open source scientific programming.

His focus is on the design and development of multilevel systems, using different sources of information to provide the health sector with a unified model that will build upon different components to deliver a general solution to data analysis for health systems. His focus for the future will be investigating the role of the Internet for promoting the uptake of evidence and enhancing its international links.

Among the various activities, he has started and managed independent research groups with strengths in evidence-based practice, information technology and biostatistics and staff sourced through internal and external collaborations and on a project-by-project basis.
