I am increasingly involved in issues involving disruptive transformation of our health care system. I am studying both clinical and financial outcomes, with the intention of identification through data analytics of populations who can benefit from models of care which are financially sustainable and if high value. One of the core areas for this study involves chronic pain.
I continue to be involved in development of outcomes studies for integrated care, with a current focus on chronic pain.
I am interested in collaboration re various aspects of chronic pain management, covering a spectrum of areas from psychosocial therapies, to new technboliogies, to neuroscience aspects of that group of diasorders.
