I currently serve as the Director of the Institute for Health Services and Outcomes Research at the Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA. My academic areas of focus include acute presentation of pediatric chronic diseases, technology use in ED aftercare, health policy, and emergency medical services for children. I have received grant funding through foundations, CTSI, the NIH, and most recently, from HRSA.
I serve as a member of the executive core and one of three national leads for the knowledge management domain for the HRSA-funded EMS for Children Innovation and Improvement Center program. I also serve as a member of the dissemination committee for the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN), representing the EIIC. Pubmed Bibliography.
