My primary interest is how health policy at multiple levels (local, state, and national) affects critical care delivery and patient outcomes. Inherent in this research is an understanding of health care quality measurement, and this has been a focus of several of my early projects. I am working to use both administrative data and large electronic health record datasets to provide both a broad and deep understanding of the impact of health policy in critical care.

I spend most of my clinical service caring for patients in the intensive care unit, with a focus on the management of sepsis and acute respiratory failure. I am interested in how we can spur interdisciplinary ICU teams to implement evidence-based best practices for critically ill patients. I am also actively engaged in the use of telemedicine to support the care of critically ill patients across the health system.

My educational activities focus on the intensive care unit. I am interested in how we can help learners across the medical professions synthesize evidence from the literature with their patient's clinical data to guide diagnosis and management. I am also interested in how we can use simulation to improve trainee's acute care management skills. Finally, I am interested in how we can support wellness in trainees and clinical staff who practice in a high-stakes ICU environment.
