Keynote Speaker

Keynote

Revolutionizing Healthcare – Pragmatic Trials and Implementation Science: A Collaborative Approach to Health System Improvement
     

Hayden Bosworth, PhD, MS
Vice-Chair of Research & Professor of Population Health Sciences
Professor in Medicine, Family Medicine, Community Health, Psychiatry, and Nursing
Duke University School of Medicine
Deputy Director, Center of Innovation to Accelerate Discovery and Practice Transformation (ADAPT), Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center
Co-Chair, Implementation Science Core, NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory

 

Time: 12:00 - 1:00 pm
Location: Vanderbilt Engineering and Science Building, Room 044/048

Dr. Bosworth is a health services researcher with four overarching areas of research: 1) clinical research that provides knowledge for improving patients’ treatment adherence and self-management in chronic care; 2) use of implementation science to improve healthcare delivery; 3) eliminate health care disparities; and 4) training the next generation of clinical researchers. Dr. Bosworth has expertise in patient-centered, multidisciplinary self-management pragmatic trials and programs for adults with chronic disease. He develops and implements scalable/sustainable interventions to improve health behaviors and reduce the burden of chronic diseases in the context of real-world environments. These trials/programs focus on addressing barriers to care at the patient, provider, and system level.
