Dr. Ray is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health Outcomes and Biomedical Informatics at the University of Florida College of Medicine. Her research focuses on human systems interactions with a particular interest in both clinician and patient decision making. Her expertise includes clinical observation, qualitative interviews, physiologic measurement of stress and workload, complex system process improvement and design, and studying system impacts on human performance. Prior to her current appointment at the University of Florida she spent four years as a faculty member in Yale School of Medicine’s Department of Emergency Medicine where she supported a variety of simulation educational programs and research in the areas of clinician stress, decision-support, and teams. Prior to returning to academia and research, she worked as a simulation learning consultant for Yale-New Haven Health for five years. In that role, she facilitated interprofessional groups working on process improvement efforts across a variety of clinical settings including supporting simulation-based design sessions for the Yale Center for Healthcare Innovation, Redesign and Learning’s (CHIRAL) work on care transitions. Her current work focuses on how we can better understand and support clinician decision-making and patient-clinician interactions through technology-based interventions.
