Research Activities
Currently we are taking a look at the place of telemedicine (the use of telecommunication and information technologies to deliver health care at a distance, helping eliminate distance barriers and improving access to medical services) in pediatric palliative care. The goal is to improve pain and symptom management in the home setting and improve patient satisfaction with their caregivers.
We are also looking at the best ways to approach advanced care planning for pediatric inpatients; resource utilization in palliative care; and pain and symptom management in palliative care.
