Our research uses implementation science approaches to develop and modify implementation and de-implementation strategies in order to optimize health care delivery and avoid medical over utilization in critically ill patients. The focus on our lab is to understand the behavioral and systems adaptations required to increase the uptake of evidence into healthcare practices.
De-implementation of low-value practices
Implementation of new diagnostics
Projects that use an implementation science approach to address challenges and promote the adoption of these techniques in clinical practice.
- Critical Care Ultrasound (CCUS)
- Focused-TEE
- Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (UGNB)
- Ultrasound-guided subclavian vein cannulation (SUGAR)
Implementation of culture change
De-implementation of bias(es) & measuring impact / Pragmatic framework for DEI
The use of implementation science is viewed as a key strategy to address health care disparities and implicit bias in the workforce, aiming to achieve diversity, equity, and inclusion through behavior theory and methodologies, with a focus on developing, refining, and implementing effective programs and strategies, while measuring their impact on reducing healthcare disparities in St. Louis.
