Description of Research Expertise

Her research is focused on improving survival from cardiac arrest. She is specifically interested in implementation of existing resuscitation therapies and tracking the diffusion of cardiac arrest interventions. Using geographic information software, she would like to identify communities at risk for cardiac arrest and determine unique strategies for improving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training and automated external defibrillator AED availability. In the in-patient setting, she is interested in using administrative data sets to identify disparities in post-resuscitation care.
