About Elizabeth A Shenkman
Elizabeth Shenkman, PhD is the Chair of the Department of Health Outcomes and Biomedical Informatics, the Director for the Institute for Child Health Policy and the Co-Director of the University of Florida Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI). Dr. Shenkman is a health outcomes researcher focusing on: 1) determining which combinations of health care delivery, community, and patient factors influence quality and outcomes of care; and 2) developing and testing corresponding evidence-based strategies to enhance care delivery and health outcomes, particularly for children, adolescents and women.
Dr. Shenkman leads the Patient Centered Research Institute (PCORI)-funded OneFlorida+ Clinical Research Network. OneFlorida+ is comprised of 11 health system partners in Florida and in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Georgia, and Minnesota. Different health care settings including academic health centers, federally qualified health centers and regional health systems are represented, along with a wide range of patient populations. A hallmark of OneFlorida+ is its centralized Data Trust, which contains HIPAA-limited linked health care claims, electronic health record, tumor registry, vital statistics, linked birth and death certificate data, census track and national death. The data are an important resource for cohort discovery, study feasibility determination, and to augment primary data collection activities.
Dr. Shenkman’s research is funded by PCORI, the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality, NIH, and the National Cancer Institute. Her work is published in such journals as Pediatrics, Health Services Research, Clinical Epidemiology, Pediatric Blood and Cancer, and the American Journal of Public Health.
