Background

A nurse since 1977, and nurse practitioner since 1981, I find myself a "jack-of-all-trades" in nursing. Feel free to review my resume.  My interest in informatics led me to begin my doctorate in Information Science at the University at Albany's Rockefeller College.  After completing most of my coursework and passing my general comps, circumstances forced me to continue my doctoral work at Warren National University in Health Administration, which I completed in August, 2007.  My dissertation was on rural physician support for implementation of Personal Health Records.  

My research interest is in the lifetime medical record. It's not enough to get medical records onto computers- we must be able to search those records for outcomes relative to the therapies employed. This must include outpatient visits, also. With greater than 15% of our GDP spent on healthcare, its a challenge whose time is now.
