His current research includes: 1) Quality and outcome assessment for hospital and long-term care; 2) Impact of Medicare payment reforms such as bundled payments on health care quality; and 3) disparities in quality of health care. Dr. Li is currently leading two R01 grants as PI. The first project is funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and is designed to identify those aspects of state regulatory and payment policies that may foster or prevent the development of nursing home patient safety culture. The second project, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), aims to use big data and statistical machine learning methods to analyze the violent death data and medical records of patients from the CDC and the CMS, in order to identify the risk and protective factors for suicide deaths among older adults in long-term care settings. He also collaborates as co-investigator on several other federally funded research projects including 1) a funded project that aims to determine the effect of the CJR (Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement) model on racial and SES disparities in the utilization and outcomes of lower extremity joint replacement procedures (R01MD012422; PI: Caroline Thirukumaran); 2) another project that tests the impact of state regulations on safety culture and safety outcomes in assisted living residences (R01HS026893; PI: Helena Tempkin-Greener); and 3) a more recent project designed to focus on Medicare ACOs (accountable care organizations) and their impact on surgical outcomes and post-acute care use.
