Research Description: My research interests include decision support, respiratory diseases, foreign bodies, and infant fevers. My current research projects include a study evaluating the use of an asthma computer game to provide asthma education during an ED visit, a retrospective study evaluating the impact of improvements in asthma care in the ED, and four studies evaluating the management of foreign bodies of the ear, nose and/or airway. I recently completed a role as the site principal investigator on three industry-sponsored multi-center studies: a randomized clinical trial evaluating a new therapy for pediatric asthma; validation of a clinical score for asthma; and a study of the epidemiology of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), an important cause of wheezing illness in infants.

Currently, I am the principal investigator for a clinical trial studying the benefits of playing an asthma computer game during an ED visit for asthma. I have four additional studies involving the management of ear, nose and airway foreign bodies. I have authored two chapters on the management of croup, and five peer-reviewed publications involving the care of the febrile infant, electronic decision support, and the management of foreign bodies.
Research Focus Area: Quality Improvement, Therapeutic Trials, Chronic Conditions / Special Health Care Needs
