My general research area is health services research quality and outcomes, studying the most effective ways to organize, manage, finance, and deliver high quality care with a special focus of nursing care models. Overall, my research addresses one of the main challenges of current health care organization and delivery globally – the need for an integrative approach that streamlines care across providers and care settings, providing an all-inclusive approach to the care for multiple health conditions, while comprehensively addressing a wide range of socio-cultural determinants for inequity in health. To advance current knowledge and practice in this integrative field and as it relates to nursing care in particular, I am developing and employing health information technology and nursing care management models that address patients’, families’ and healthcare systems’ needs across the care continuum.
