Summary
My primary research focus is patient complexity in chronic disease management. This focus entails understanding how the intersection of social, medical, and mental/behavioral health factors have an impact on patient outcomes. In practice, my interest is studying how health care can better integrate services to meet patients' complex needs. This work is motivated and informed by my Cumulative Complexity Model, a framework for conceptualizing, measuring, and addressing patient complexity.
