Research Summary

As a health services research and implementation scientist, my research falls under two domains: improving post-ischemic stroke vascular risk factor management and investigating how medical comorbidities among ischemic stroke patients may be both novel stroke risk factors and adversely affect outcomes (e.g., mortality and readmission rates). Several areas that I am actively examining include: the use implementation science strategies and Lean Six Sigma approaches to improve the delivery of guideline-concordant post-stroke vascular risk factor management, understanding the culture of communication and collaboration between neurologists and primary care providers in post-stroke care, identifying barriers and facilitators to the delivery of high-quality stroke care, the role of HIV and stroke risk in the era of combined anti-retroviral therapy, hematologic abnormalities associated with higher mortality rates among stroke patients, and addressing cardiac screening in this high risk vascular population.
