All of this is done with the aim of developing analytical capabilities for clinical, managerial, and research purposes. Her work also focuses on technologies designed to optimize medication use, including electronic prescribing and computerized comparative drug assessments. She is also interested in semantic interoperability and terminological standards, particularly in relation to the use of medicines, their method of use, and their efficacy and safety profile.
