He develops, designs, and conducts formative and evaluative research in the areas of patient and consumer engagement, shared decision making, and patient-centered outcomes research. He is an advisor to AIR’s Center for Patient and Consumer Engagement, and has worked on a variety of projects related to involving patients and consumers in health care research, service, and policy decisions for the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and others.
