Moore Foundation early-career investigator in patient-family engagement, Erica Shelton, M.D., assistant professor, Department of Emergency Medicine at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, was recently interviewed by CityLab (from The Atlantic) for her work in studying the use of community health workers to improve patient care. Specifically, Dr. Shelton’s research is testing the effectiveness of a community health worker intervention to help patients who have been to the emergency room get the care they need to avoid going back. This work is part of the Patient Care Program’s special projects in patient and family engagement, which connects to the program’s overall aim of improving the experience and outcomes people have with their care.
