Behind every piece of data entry there is a patient story and that’s where staff like our Intensive Care Unit Data Manager Sarah Childs excel.
Working quietly behind the scenes, our data managers help ensure our critical care services continue to improve through evidence, insight and collaboration.
"As the ICU Data Manager at Bayside, my days are filled with data entry, auditing and analysis.
"Something that might surprise people is how much detective work is involved piecing together timelines, results and clinical events to tell the full story behind the data.
"I work closely with our clinical teams to turn numbers into meaningful insights that drive quality improvement.
"Our service contributes to national ANZICS data collection, helping ICUs across Australia and New Zealand benchmark care and improve outcomes.
"What I love most is knowing my work directly impacts patient care, especially during people’s most critical moments."
