Research interests for Patients:
My research interests primarily focus on improving patient outcomes by implementing evidence based medicine more quickly and effectively into primary care practices. Our approach brings together a network of practices, experts, and quality improvement consultants to spread best practices and learn better ways to care for patients. Our current projects address behavioral health integration in primary care, heart health, medication assisted treatment for opioid use disorders, and coordinating specialty care.
