Through our scientific and technological genius, we've made of this world a neighborhood. And now through our moral and ethical commitment, we must make of it a brotherhood.
Background
Charles Senteio is an assistant professor of library and information science at Rutgers University. He received his PhD in health informatics from the University of Michigan, and also holds an MSW and MBA from the University of Michigan.
Interests
Senteio uses mixed methods to investigate how healthcare practitioners and patients can better use information to improve chronic disease outcomes for at-risk patients – while reducing cost of care – through financially sustainable care delivery models.
His research agenda includes piloting capabilities to capture and use psychosocial information in clinical settings in order to measure the impact of its use. This research can be applied to develop sustainable models of care delivery, which result in more efficient care, as measured by health outcomes, patient satisfaction, patient activation, and cost of care. He intends to collect and use psychosocial information in order to extend personalized medicine capabilities—which are currently tailored to the genetics of the patient—to the lived experience of the person.
