Summary
My primary research focus is patient and health system complexity in chronic disease management. This focus entails understanding how social, medical, and mental/behavioral factors interact in shaping care delivery and patient outcomes. In practice, my interest is studying how health systems can better integrate services to meet patients' needs, and especially in publicly insured and low-income (e.g., Medicare and Medicaid) populations. This work is motivated and informed by my Cumulative Complexity Model, a framework for conceptualizing, measuring, and addressing patient complexity.
