Karthik Adapa

Dr. Karthik Adapa's work broadly focuses on designing, developing, implementing, validating, and evaluating health information technology (IT) interventions. Dr. Adapa uses methods from human factors engineering, implementation science, and machine learning based on his training in internal medicine, public health, public policy, and health informatics. Dr. Adapa's current research efforts focus on understanding a) how mental workload, usability, and performance are related to each other during providers' interaction with health IT b) how to develop effective simulation-based testing to evaluate health IT interventions c) how to design, develop, and implement health IT interventions focused on improving providers' well-being, quality of care, and patient safety. Most recently, Dr. Adapa (with colleagues) designed, developed, implemented, validated, and evaluated a dosimetry quality assurance checklist in the radiation oncology clinic of an academic cancer center.
