Erin BlakeneyPhD, RN
Research Associate Professor
Biobehavioral Nursing & Health Informatics
Profile
My program of research is motivated by the knowledge that all too often our health research and care systems do not safely, efficiently, equitably, or effectively meet the needs of patients or their family members along the bench to bedside spectrum.
In my work, I utilize frameworks and methods from the fields of implementation science and interprofessional/team science and have primarily focused on experiences and outcomes of patients with a diagnosis of advanced heart failure.
Current areas of inquiry include: (1) identification of best practices and promising models for improving interdisciplinary team dynamics and outcomes in education, research, and clinical settings; (2) understanding mechanisms of action connecting the quality of communication, relationships, and processes/structures with team effectiveness and team and patient outcomes; (3) discovering strategies to implement and sustain team-based approaches in research and practice.
