Research Statement
Dr. Pines' research focuses on emergency department and hospital crowding and measuring it’s impact on the quality of emergency care. In particular, his recent lines of work have sought to determine the impact of emergency department crowding on patient care outcomes such as time to antibiotics in pneumonia, pain control, inpatient complications, length of stay, and risk-adjusted survival. He also works to design and test interventions to improve emergency department efficiency and quality of care. He has a strong interest in understanding the impact of both emergency department and hospital administrative factors on high-risk populations such as older adults and patients with atypical presentations of time-sensitive illnesses.
