Research Focus

My research focuses on conducting observational and interventional studies in public health and health services delivery aimed at improving the safety and quality of health care. My research program aims to identify modifiable determinants of adverse events and improved health outcomes through the analysis of large linked clinical and administrative databases. My team develops and evaluates computer-enabled interventions to address modifiable risk factors (e.g., computerized decision-support, personal health record portals and self-management tools, automated surveillance systems).
