Biography


My main focus, for research and for implementations, is on understanding, adapting, and scaling concepts that enable both providers and patients to thrive. Combining my backgrounds in implementation science, quality improvement, human factors, simulation, and patient safety, our teams often utiliize various tools from medical simulation that can translate to clinical changes. Multi-year examples of our teams' implementations and research in this space include: 1. clinical uses of emergency manuals (context relevant sets of cognitive aids or checklists), for crisis management of critical events 2. surgical caps with names and roles to enable both teamwork for better patient care and connection for provider and patient wellness. 3. Psychological safety and safety culture. We enjoy collaborating with multiple colleagues throughout healthcare and other safety-critical industries for bigger impacts.
