Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
In my administrative role at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, I help oversee the implementation of an electronic medical record (EMR) system that includes computerized physician order entry (CPOE) with clinical decision support (CDS) and a personal health record (PHR). My research is focussed on rigorously evaluating the best ways to implement and optimize health information technology to positively impact patient safety and quality of care for the pediatric and obstetric patients we serve at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital (LPCH).
One specific area of focus is evaluating the impact of these systems on tangible clinical outcomes such as hospital-wide mortality. I am also interested in innovating new approaches to using the EMR as a tool to support clinical resource management and safe patient handoffs, and am leading efforts to evaluate the potential of PHR's as a tool to facilitate participatory medicine. Finally, I collaborate with colleagues at the Stanford Center for Biomedical Informatics Research (BMIR) to use the wealth of information in our hospital EMR to generate new knowledge about our patients.
