Dr. Hoilette has begun a research path to investigate strategies to improve health care delivery in primary care for vulnerable children and families with a particular interest in CHCs. She is merging two fields of study--CHCs and Multifaceted Interventions, with a focus on high-risk individuals. She wrote and successfully attained a KL2 award through the URMC's CTSI. She has also published research in Academic Pediatrics analyzing CHC's as medical homes for children as compared with other primary care providers for the poor. As she has progressed in her career as the Medical Director of Woodward Health Center at Jordan Health, a CHC here in Rochester, she has expanded her interests into how real time multifaceted interventions in the primary care setting can improve provider and patient satisfaction and improve outcomes for vulnerable children and families. As she has Her career development goals complement her research plans by providing her with the skill set, coursework, and local and national experiences to become an expert at CHCs with respect to medical home practice transformation, which has great potential to improve access and coordination.

I usually feel a little let down after my annual checkup and feeling like, that's it? I answer a bunch of generic questions and don't get much feedback on anything I should change or do to improve my health. They don't really DO anything. I am left wondering how I am doing. I would appreciate feedback good and bad about how to Improve my health. Compared to other patients my age is my health better or worse than the average person? I would like some kind of benchmark. I know how I am feeling and my general health. I would like to know how the DOCTOR thinks I am doing and get specific feedback on how to improve my health.
