Professor Tammy Hoffmann OAM
Tammy is Professor of Clinical Epidemiology and NHMRC Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Evidence-Based Health Care, Bond University. Her research spans many aspects of evidence-based practice, shared decision making, and maximising the translation of evidence into practice to assist clinicians, patients, and the public to make informed health decisions. One of her current areas is devoted to more closely integrating shared decision making and evidence-based practice so that evidence is translated into practice better, in a more patient-centred way, and in a way that considers the sustainability of health systems.
To facilitate the uptake of shared decision making, she has collaborated with and advised health departments, the ACSQHC, medical professional colleges, and health insurers. Tammy has over 300 publications, including many in leading journals such as JAMA, BMJ, JAMA Internal Medicine, PLOS Medicine, and BMC Medicine. She is also the lead author of a widely used interdisciplinary evidence-based practice book (Evidence-Based Practice across the Health Professions, 4th edition 2023).
