Research/Areas of Interest
My research examines how health care organizations transform care delivery systems to improve population health. I study care delivery models that integrate services, coordinate care, and value patient-centeredness, particularly for those with serious and complex conditions. I use qualitative and quantitative methods to examine several aspects of health care, including primary care, hospital care, palliative care, and advance care planning, often applying organization theory to understand how health care organizations implement innovations, with attention to relational, structural, and cultural factors at the organizational level as well as the external policy context. I value stakeholder engagement, often working with providers, payers, and community organizations in the development and implementation of research projects. Through my research, I aim to identify practical and evidence-based strategies to help providers and policymakers transform care delivery to address the triple aim: improving the patient experience of care, improving the health of populations, and reducing per capita cost of health care.
