On the outpatient side, I specialize in the care of patients with emphysema, COPD, and other smoking-related lung diseases. I am particularly interested in symptom management, prognostication, and the role of fear and anxiety in patients with advanced lung disease.ResearchAs a health services researcher, I am interested in improving the care of seriously ill patients, both in the ICU and outpatient settings. By combining "big data" analysis with survey data and qualitative "patient-level" research, I aim to use the wealth of data we have available through the electronic medical record to better understand patient experience. With my research team at the Rochester Center for Health Informatics, I am developing novel analytic techniques such as network analysis to evaluate the ways that patients move throughout the hospital and the implications for ICU readmissions, disease transmission, and end-of-life care. I am also interested in provider-patient communication regarding difficult decisions at the end of life. Because of competing time interests, discussions regarding advance directives and "code status" are often rushed and lack tailored information regarding individual patient prognosis from an experienced provider. My prior work has looked at variations in DNR/DNI order writing among intensive care units in the United States. I am currently conducting survey and qualitative research regarding end-of-life discussions and advance directives among seriously ill outpatients. My hypothesis is that many patients have a limited understanding of the options available as well as the implications of the option they select. Ultimately, I plan to develop interventions to improve patient and surrogate understanding of the various treatment options near the end of life, including the use of default options in advance directives for seriously ill patients.CredentialsSpecialtiesCritical Care Medicine - American Board of Internal MedicineInternal MedicinePulmonary Disease - American Board of Internal MedicineEducation2006MD | University of RochesterPost-doctoral Training & Residency09/01/2009 - 02/24/2013Fellowship in Pulmonary/Critical Care at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine06/21/2007 - 08/31/2009Residency in Internal Medicine at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine06/20/2006 - 06/20/2007Internship in Internal Medicine at University of Pennsylvania School of MedicineVIEW ALL expand_moreAwards2017Early Career Women Faculty Leadership Development ScholarshipSponsor: AAMCLocation: Skamania, WA2017Finalist, resident teaching award2016Finalist, resident teaching awardSponsor: URMC2012ATS Travel Scholarship Award2006Alpha Omega AlphaSponsor: University of Rochester School of Medicine2006Glasgow-Rubin Achievement AwardSponsor: University of Rochester School of MedicineLocation: For graduating first in medical school class2006Gold Humanism SocietySponsor: University of Rochester School of Medicine2001Phi Beta KappaSponsor: Carleton College2001Sigma cum laudeSponsor: Carleton CollegeVIEW ALL expand_morePublicationsJournal Articles2017Rosenberg A; Fucile C; Nelson LA; White RJ; Quill CM; Zand M.
