STAT Handbook
The STAT handbook contains a step by step guide to implementing the STAT model. This handbook has been created and made freely available to help service providers to apply an evidence-based approach to the problem of health service waiting lists.
If you are downloading the handbook, we would be very grateful if you would send us a brief email describing the problem that you are seeking to address at your health service. This information helps us to understand what sorts of services are interested in the model and can be used to help guide the development of targeted resources. We would also like to be able to contact you in the future to ask about your experience with STAT. Your details will not be shared with any other party, and you will not be contacted by us for any purpose unrelated to the STAT model.
