Summary
- I'm a board certified cardiologist. My clinical area of focus is the transitional care of heart failure patients. I am the director of the heart failure bridge and transition (BAT) team at the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute of Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
Clinically I attend in the cardiac care unit (CCU), the general cardiology wards, the general medicine wards, the cardiology consultation service, and have office hours Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons.
My research work is in health services and clinical outcomes, focused on continuously improving high-quality care for heart failure patients. Our group collaborates strongly with the Kellogg School of Management to improve heart failure operations by identifying and overcoming hurdles in the delivery of care.
