PROGRAM OF RESEARCH My research area is patient safety and quality of care in inpatient care settings. My program of research is to understand factors that contribute to falls and to test patient-centered interventions for preventing falls of adult patients in hospital settings. Research areas and interests

• Patient safety and quality of care in hospitals: e.g., patient falls, infection control, newly emerging infectious diseases, religions and cultures, informatics, health policy, history of Chinese medicine (75 journal articles; 55 of them were published in SCI/SSCI journals; 42 of them on inpatient falls in refereed professional journals; one professional book, entitled “Patient unit safety and care quality: Promotion of self-healing systems during hospital stays”)

• Human resource management and leadership: e.g., the relationship between human resource management and care quality, ethics, occupational hazards, resource allocation, family involvement in inpatient care, higher education administration (32 journal articles; 17 of them were published in SCI/SSCI journals)

• Teaching and research methodology (8 journal articles; 6 of them were published in SCI/SSCI journals)
