Dr. Shield has long been involved in the exploration of life and work in US long term care and other health care settings using qualitative and mixed methods. Her long term care research focuses on end-of-life care; the culture change movement; disparity of care; communication among diverse stakeholders, including staff, residents and families; and the roles of physicians. Dr. Shield's research also concerns health care reform, patient-centered medical homes, and payment and quality reporting. She also works on incorporating and evaluating geriatrics in medical school education and hospital practice, and the processes and impact of electronic health records and health information exchange on patients and physicians.
Dr. Shield is a medical and cultural anthropologist with extensive qualitative and mixed methods research experience with stakeholders in long term care and other health care settings that focuses on varieties of health care practices, and beliefs and interventions in multiple settings and diverse populations. Dr. Shield engages stakeholders in conducting case studies, site visits, participant observation, in-depth and cognitive-based interviews, life histories, and focus groups in solo research and in mixed methods collaboration with interdisciplinary research teams. Dr. Shield’s research interests have centered on resident, family and staff experiences in long term care and other health settings; physician-patient communication; end of life care; the review of medical decision support tools; the impact of culture change practices on care processes in long term care facilities; the transformation of clinical practices into patient-centered medical homes; and the implementation and impact of electronic health records and health information exchange on patients, physicians and systems. Dr. Shield has also applied much of her research, evaluation and teaching experience in educational initiatives in medical curricular development and evaluation with medical students and specialty physicians; creating and evaluating a website of educational resources on suicide prevention; and using a focus group strategy to evaluate the development of the Health Information Exchange initiative in Rhode Island.
