Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
Health services research in primary care and geriatrics applying health informatics for quality improvement in health care. The ATHENA-Clinical Decision Support (CDS) project develops knowledge-based systems for application to patient data in electronic health records (EHR) and presentation of findings and recommendations to health professionals within the EHR. Current work in this project includes knowledge engineering of knowledge bases to expand the library of encoded clinical guidelines; evaluation of existing systems based on stakeholder input.
Other work includes developing methods and data to incorporate quality of life information into cost-effectiveness analyses, mapping data from a population-based survey of utilities for states of functional dependence to a clinical trial health status outcome measure.
