Research Interests
He is interested primarily in bedside-to-community translational research encompassing the domains of medical informatics, decision-support systems, and simulation modeling, particularly as these relate to infectious diseases and infection control surveillance. Topics of his research include:decision-support tools for antibiotic prescribing in the rural long-term-care setting; electronic detection of urinary catheters in hospitalized patients to reduce urinary tract infections; and simulation of nosocomial catheter-related bloodstream infections to evaluate different surveillance methods.
