Dr. Downer's Research Contact Dr. Downer Muneeza Esani, PhD, MHP, MLS(ASCP), Dept of Clinical Laboratory Sciences Clinical Laboratory Sciences · COVID-19 · Healthcare Quality Physicians need a way to screen for and predict severity of COVID-19 based on laboratory test results in order to reduce length of stay in the hospital and/or mortality. Dr. Esani's Research Contact Dr. Esani Muzna Khan, MS, RRT-ACCS, Dept of Respiratory Care Aging · COVID-19 · Healthcare Quality · Lung Function · Physical Function · Population Health People recovering from Covid-19 need to have their pulmonary function monitored in a way that will allow them to find effective ways to reduce their shortness of breath and improve lung function. Ms. Khan's Research Contact Ms. Khan Chih-ying "Cynthia" Li, OTR, PhD, Dept of Occupational Therapy Healthcare Quality · Physical Function · Readmissions · Rehabilitation Rehab clinicians need to deliver high-value interventions in the post-acute phase so that patients do not incur costly readmissions and are able to optimize their personal functional recovery. Dr. Li's Research Contact Dr. Li Monique Pappadis, MEd, PhD, Division of Rehabilitation Sciences Brain Health · Healthcare Quality · Health Disparities · Population Health Persons with traumatic brain injury need a way to receive affordable, timely, safe, and accessible care following injury in a way that promotes equitable care delivery regardless of patient demographics and improves long-term physical and mental health functioning, care satisfaction, and quality of life. Dr. Pappadis's Research Contact Dr. Pappadis Rajkumar Rajendran, DCLS, MS, MLS(ASCP)cm, Dept of Clinical Laboratory Sciences Clinical Laboratory Sciences · Health Professions Education · Healthcare Quality Doctorate in Clinical Laboratory science students need a way to successfully complete their clinicals in a way that reduces out of pocket costs (hotel, travel and taking time off from work) and assures successful program completion. Dr. Rajendran's Research Contact Dr. Rajendran José D Rojas, PhD, RRT, RPFT, Dept of Respiratory Care Aging · COVID-19 · Healthcare Quality · Lung Function · Physical Function · Population Health Clinicians need a way to evaluate lung function in patients who are recovering from COVID so as to identify those with increased airway resistance and design approaches to reduce breathlessness. Dr. Rojas's Research Contact Dr. Rojas Jose "Eddie" Salazar, PhD, MLS(ASCP)cm, Dept of Clinical Laboratory Sciences Clinical Laboratory Sciences · Healthcare Quality · Reducing Physician Error Physicians need to receive laboratory test interpretation and recommendations so that they make fewer diagnostic errors and provide the appropriate medical recommendations to their patients. Dr. Salazar's Research Contact Dr. Salazar Melissa J. Yanes, MS, RRT-ACCS, Dept of Respiratory Care Aging · COVID-19 · Healthcare Quality · Lung Function · Physical Function · Population Health Post-COVID19 patients need a way to identify, manage and control their breathlessness with the support of Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) in a way that reduces their exacerbations and improves better control of day to day activities.
