We use interdisciplinary approaches, including theory and natural experiments, to understand how computation is embodied in socio-technical service delivery systems. Examples include the origins of complex behavior in the hospital setting and the augmentation of clinical decision-making through predictive systems in the emergency department. Broadly, we invent new tools for studying non-model organizations with a significant focus at the intersection of medicine and public health – addressing fundamental questions such as how to increase quality and access while minimizing cost and inequality? Finally, we build new data and systems to tackle prevalent challenges in medicine – (A) Making healthcare delivery safer and accessible to everyone; (B) Investing in healthcare worker and patient safety; (C) Transforming the clinical trials enterprise to make it more efficient and integrated into healthcare delivery systems.
