In this week’s Scientist Highlights, we feature Courtney Lee, MD, MPH, who became a CICADA Scientist in 2021. Dr. Lee’s RCMAR pilot project is “Impact of the Caregiver Advice, Record, Enable (CARE) Act on Patient Experience and Readmissions at US Hospitals”. Dr. Lee’s research interests are at the intersections of health disparities, inpatient care utilization, social determinants of health, performance metrics for hospitals, and alternate payment models. Her current projects are focused on evaluating Medicaid rebalancing programs that transition institutionalized persons back to the community, understanding provider sentiment in clinical notes, and evaluating quality metrics of inpatient psychiatric hospitals.
