Research Tags:

Bio/Research Statement:
My interests lie in the field of organization studies. In particular, I am interested in understanding how human actions are embedded in context and how routine patterns of action are adapted to situational demands.
Current Research:
Understanding how people adapt their repetitive information-intensive work routines to fit different contexts by studying variations in patient handoffs between health care providers.
My goal is both to improve patient safety and medical care and to inform our understanding of organizational routines and change processes.
