Research Focus
My research interests are in the usage of
technology in improving and tracking organizational performance in public and
private arenas as well as organizational redesign and cultural readiness. These
interests include enhancing an organization’s ability to assess its weaknesses,
evaluate its core values and develop a strategic plan that promotes innovation
and performance excellence both vertically and horizontally across the system,
using system engineering and organizational behavior tools as the
foundation. My dissertation research
focused on differences in passive and active registries, barriers to using a
disease registry, and the effect of numeracy (using numbers) in decision making
and health related discussions and it continues to be an area of interest.
