The Douglas Lab at Texas A&M

Texas is our Laboratory

Our lab’s motto is “Texas is our laboratory” and performance measurement makes healthcare improvement possible and is the essence of our mission.

We are Health Outcomes Researchers and measure healthcare performance with a focus on the T3 scope of translational research. With an extensive IT project management background and an understanding of innovations in health care, my research gives evidence to move practical ideas into practice. I have three distinct lines of research:

1) Clinical and economic evaluation of health care programs

2) Development of health information technology to improve health care delivery

3) Develop health care simulations to improve clinical and economic performance.

At the 2013 Texas SHSP meeting in Austin, Nephy Samuel (P3) and Jennie Mathew (P3) presented a poster on ePrescribing in South Texas. This is one of the few research studies that interviewed both pharmacists and physicians. Independent of the advanced technology enabling direct and secure communication, research findings suggest that how follow-up questions are worded have a significant impact on the quality and accuracy of communications between physicians and pharmacists.
