Research Summary
Formally trained as a health services researcher through the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program, I work with CORE to develop national hospital-level quality measures to help improve healthcare quality, focusing on orthopedic and patient-reported outcome-based performance measures. I am also interested in quality measurement in musculoskeletal and inflammatory diseases.
