Dr. Angie Hayes is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Clinical and Health Informatics at the McWilliams School of Biomedical Informatics. She examines how informatics-enabled strategies, such as clinical decision support, virtual provider education, and quality dashboards, can be implemented and evaluated to improve care delivery in outpatient settings with a focus on pediatric public health and behavioral health.

Dr. Hayes brings experience at the intersection of healthcare operations, public health research, and applied informatics. She has led enterprise initiatives to develop, implement, and evaluate clinical decision support tools for emergency departments and virtual training initiatives for primary care physicians. She has built dashboards that close quality gaps and support care transformation. Her scholarship also explores provider-facing usability and technology acceptance, and the application of informatics in behavioral health forensics.

Prior to joining the faculty, Dr. Hayes held senior roles in population health management and quality at UT Physicians and directed informatics efforts in researching child safety at Baylor College of Medicine. She currently serves as the informatics expert on the steering committee for the National Child Abuse Clinical Decision Support Consortium.

• Tell us about your research center and/or what research/work you are currently working on?
  I am currently leading research on the design and evaluation of informatics-based interventions, such as clinical decision support and virtual behavioral health training, to improve behavioral health care and quality outcomes. This work is focused on primary care settings and is expanding to include pediatric primary care.
• What does the future of research look like?
  I plan to build on my current work by evaluating the long-term impact of decision support and virtual education tools on provider behavior, care quality, and system-level outcomes in pediatric and primary care settings.
• What does the future of informatics look like?
  The future of informatics will connect data, technology, and people to deliver care that is more equitable, efficient, and trusted.
