Bio
Dr. Michelle Lin is an emergency physician-scientist working to make emergency care more patient-centered, accessible, and equitable. Her active NIH-funded research projects develop new quality measures based on what matters most to patients; improve post-ED discharge care for high risk patients; and enhance physician diversity and retention. Her prior funded work has evaluated the impact of value-based care on emergency care delivery and payment; drivers of hospitalization during ED visits; and changes in the intensity of emergency care.
