I focus on three health services research domains: 1) the development of outcome measures to quantify quality, value, and safety in healthcare; 2) novel statistical and computational approaches for inference from high-dimensional correlated data; 3) health policy innovation. Unified by data-driven quantitative inference, I emphasize methodology while employing data sets from diverse sources (e.g. electronic health records (EHR), clinical registries, statewide all-payer administrative claims, nationwide private payer, department of defense clinical records) to measure patient outcomes. Some of my ongoing projects include: 1) development of novel instruments to measure Serious Reportable Events occurring in hospitals; 2) the impact of public reporting of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft in California; 3) quantum computing applications for health outcomes and policy.
