Overview
I am an assistant professor in the Division of Health Policy and Economics of the Department of Population Health Sciences. As a health services researcher with training in health economics, my research broadly focuses on how changes in the payment and delivery of health care services affect access to health and health outcomes for vulnerable patient populations.
My current research interests revolve around three major themes. First, I study the relationship between telehealth use and access to care, health care costs, and quality of care. Second, I’m interested in health system strategies that improve medical care and quality of life for Medicare beneficiaries. Third, I examine how the acquisition of provider organizations impacts the quality and cost of care.

- Analysis Could Guide the Future of Telehealth PoliciesSeptember 4, 2024
Weill Cornell Medicine researchers found that female physicians, primary care physicians, psychiatrists and physicians in non-rural areas delivered relatively higher proportions of visits via telehealth. This national analysis may provide key information for policymakers to consider as COVID-19 provisions for expanded Medicare telehealth coverage are set to expire at the end of this year.
