Baylor College of Medicine
I’m a postdoc fellow in Health Services Research and Development at the Center for Innovations in Quality, Effectiveness and Safety, which is associated with the Houston VA and Baylor College of Medicine. I received my PhD in cognitive psychology from University of New South Wales. My research interests include improving diagnostic decision-making, reducing errors in medicine, and studying the effects of interruptions and time-pressure on decision-making.
Fellowship Project
Dr. Sloane seeks to gain a better understanding of the diagnostic journey of patients with “diagnostically challenging conditions”, such as celiac disease. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop, test, and validate electronic trigger(s) to proactively identify patients who have a high likelihood of having certain diagnostically challenging conditions.
