About
I am the Co Director of the Center for Health Care Data in the Department of Management, Policy and Community Health. My focus in this capacity revolves around the collection of health care data (such as claims data, EHR data, survey data, and other) for the use of researchers and also for use in public policy. I work with many researchers to refine questions that can be addressed with existing data as well as with federal, state and local agencies, foundations, and other organizations interested in researching issues in health care that can be answered with data. My background is in outcomes analyses, as well as hospital administration and management of health care organizations. I have a strong background in data analytics, including the design of metrics and the auditing of process and reporting. My clinical background is in mental health, occupational health, wellness, rehabilitation, and outcome predictive models. I have a special interests in cost and quality of health care services, and the relationship of social determinants of health.
