Academic Appointments Instructor, Medicine - Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine
Clinical Focus- Critical Care
- Pulmonary Critical Care
Research InterestMy research focuses on the physiolgogic and biomarker characteristics of early acute lung injury (ALI) prior to need for mechanical ventilation. While, to date no pharmacologic treatment has improved survival in ALI, following the paradigm of early goal directed therapy for severe sepsis, clinical benefit may derive from identifying patients and initiating treatment prior to the need for positive pressure ventilation (and therefore prior to meeting current study entry criteria).

- Care of patients with multiple chronic medical conditions
Research InterestAt Stanford Coordinated Care we are developing and researching a model of care for patients with complex chronic medical conditions who are not 'doing well'. We will assess four domains for each patient: the medical neighborhood; social support; self-management; and medical status and help patients develop their skills and support systems in these areas. Our goal is the triple aim: improved patient experience, improved medical outcomes and cost savings.
