OverviewAI-generated summary

Allison Jenkins' research focuses on improving patient outcomes and safety within emergency and acute care settings. Her work has investigated the appropriate use of prophylactic antibiotics for patients experiencing traumatic pneumocephalus or cerebrospinal fluid leaks. Jenkins has also published on optimizing weight-based dosing of low-molecular-weight heparin for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in trauma and spinal trauma patients, aiming to achieve effective VTE prevention while monitoring for safety.

Further research by Jenkins explores strategies to reduce opioid administration in surgical intensive care units, utilizing implementation science to decrease variation in prescribing practices. She has also examined the dissemination and impact of multimodal pain regimens and the association of persistent opioid use following surgery. Jenkins collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Kyle J. Kalkwarf, Rebecca Smith, and Thomas Heye, as well as Hanna Jensen at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
