OverviewAI-generated summary

Emel Seker's research centers on the analysis and improvement of healthcare data, with a specific focus on identifying and mitigating bias within these datasets. Her work includes exploring clinical data warehousing through scoping reviews and investigating the coverage of standards like HL7® FHIR® for public health data acquisition. Seker also studies the impact of workforce configurations on patient outcomes, such as length of stay and charges for hospitalized patients, particularly those with congestive heart failure. Her research extends to the sociotechnical needs of registered nurses in managing heart failure hospitalizations for African American patients, examining the nurse's effect on patient length of stay. Seker collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Tremaine B. Williams, Taiquitha Robins, Pearman D. Parker, and Alisha Crump, with whom she shares multiple publications.
