The research in our lab is focused on sociotechnical questions tackling complex problems in Biomedical Informatics. Trained originally as a Behavioral Scientist I am interested in clinical decision making, and informatics implementation (including of Augmented Intelligence-enabled and Artificial Intelligence solutions) and the relational and contextual factors associated with patient centered care, age-friendly care, shared decision making. Trained in team science since graduate school, I am committed to collaboration and mentorship.  Primarily located in the Department of Biomedical Informatics I am also jointly appointed in the Division of Geriatrics in the Department of Internal Medicine.  At Salt Lake City VA I am an Investigator in the VA Salt Lake City Informatics, Decision-Enhancement, and Analytics (IDEAS) Center of Innovation and Associate Director for Education and Evaluation in the VA Salt Lake City Geriatric Research, Education and Clinical Center (GRECC). 

My research interests include sociotechnical systems and implementation science of patient-centered care, geriatrics, clinical decision-making included Augmented Intelligence-enabled and Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. I engage in foundational development, evaluation, and implementation of informatics solutions supporting medical decision-making across healthcare systems and decision contexts, e.g., chronic pain, antibiotic prescribing, sepsis, and cancer. My expertise includes qualitative, quantitative, and survey methods examining individual differences, workflow, and usability, for patient and clinician-facing technology.
