Health Services Research (HSR) is a field of inquiry that integrates in-depth knowledge of the healthcare system with theory and advanced statistical methods to investigate issues related to quality, cost, and access to care. As a health services researcher, Caroline's primary research interests are at the intersection of health policy, and the quality & safety of orthopaedic care in hospitals. Broadly, she is interested in understanding the drivers and determinants of high-quality orthopaedic care, and in particular, care for the vulnerable population including the elderly and those that are at risk of health disparities. She has expertise in the use of large medical and administrative datasets to address the research questions. The overarching goal of her research is to generate knowledge that will contribute in reducing variation in the outcomes of orthopaedic care.
