All of my research and administrative projects have a component that focus on improving usability and decreasing burnout for healthcare providers. We have been able to develop and study several tools that use well-timed and well-designed clinical decision support to improve patient care and decrease risk for patients on high-risk medications. We have been fortunate to be able to use the data gathered during these implementations to make changes to the interface and workflows to continue to improve patient safety and support providers. In particular, we are also excited about the potential of layering on a predictive model to help prioritize the alerts that are created for providers; at this time, most facilities do not have the staff to process all the alerts and prioritization is paramount to allow providers to help the most patients in the short amount of time they have.
I have been at Michigan Medicine since medical school. I did OB/GYN residency, REI fellowship here. I am boarded in clinical informatics. In 2019, I had the opportunity, given funding and administrative options in informatics, to step away from patient care, so 100% of my time is now focused on informatics projects.
