Summary

• I'm an Assistant Professor of Medicine at UCSF in the Division of Hospital Medicine. I received my BA and MD, and subsequently completed my residency, at Northwestern University, following which I completed a research fellowship and Masters in Clinical Research at UCSF. I joined UCSF faculty in 2011.
  
  My work centers on the use of information technology applications in health care. I'm working primarily on a project to transform clinical communication within and between providers and their teams using ZipRounds, a pager-Twitter-Facebook platform I built in conjunction with SalesForce and UCSF's Information Services Unit (ISU) and UCSF Medical Center IT. My team and I successfully piloted this platform at a UCSF hospital in April and May of 2012 and have subsequently been working to create a mobile application for the same platform, which is ultimately meant to replace paging as a modality.
  
  I'm also Web Editor of Archives of Internal Medicine.
  
  I also attend on the Inpatient Medicine service.
  
  
  My areas of research interest include:
  
  Inter-provider communication
  Information technology
  Decision support
