She held a five-year Canadian Institutes of Health Research New Investigator salary award from 2008 to 2013 to specialize in knowledge translation. Currently Anna’s research focuses on how: (1) clinical practice guidelines can be better-designed to support health care decision-making by consumers and health professionals; (2) multidisciplinary teamwork can be supported to improve satisfaction with, and the efficiency of health care delivery; (3) higher risk implantable medical devices can be monitored to prevent or minimize patient harm; and (4) person-centred care can be implemented and evaluated.
