I contribute my health services research expertise to analysis of data for our Accountable Care Organization and the evaluation of quality improvement initiatives designed to increase value-based care.
PROMOTING ACADEMIC PURSUITS RELATED TO LURIE CHILDREN'S DIGITAL HEALTH INITIATIVES
I work with a team of health services researchers and quality improvement scientists to promote and support academic pursuits related to Lurie Children’s Digital Health initiatives. We have created a library of survey questions related to family and provider experiences with digital health. In partnership with Data Analytics and Reporting, we have also developed and validated a standardized approach for data extraction of telemedicine visits from Epic. These EHR data are paired with Patient Family Experience survey responses when available. For more information about these resources, individuals can contact us at TelemedicineEvaluation@luriechildrens.org.
