Systems Work & Collaborative Care
Alongside clinical practice, Dr. Adaji has focused his career on the design and implementation of shared care plans as the foundation of effective collaborative care.
He completed a PhD at Monash University examining the real-world barriers to implementing digital shared care plans in general practice and collaborative care settings, and later completed an MBA at Deakin University to strengthen the operational and organisational aspects of healthcare delivery.
His research on collaborative care and shared care planning has been cited in U.S. congressional materials and by the American Psychiatric Association, reflecting its relevance to health system design, workforce models, and national mental health policy.
Dr. Adaji’s work now centres on translating evidence-based models—such as the Collaborative Care Model—into practical, scalable systems that support patients, clinicians, practices, organisations, employers, and payors.
