My research focus is on health systems and health services research, program evaluation, implementation science, and health policy. My research has focused on optimizing care of chronic conditions in the outpatient setting, assessing and addressing suboptimal prescribing, and quality measurement. My prior work has included leading the implementation and evaluation of a multi-year effort to optimize the outpatient management of anticoagulants in the VA system. In another previous study, I examined the outcomes implications from several different types of potentially inappropriate opioid prescribing in Massachusetts. Prior to moving to Israel from the United States in 2019, I worked at the RAND Corporation, a nonprofit health policy research institute. Before that, I was in the VA Healthcare System, which supports a large number of physician health services researchers who work on improving care.
