Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Jure Baloh's research focuses on implementation science and health services research, particularly within rural settings. He is the Principal Investigator on a $214,616 NIH/National Institute on Drug Abuse grant to develop and pilot a supervision strategy for substance use disorder treatment programs. His work has explored barriers and facilitators to HIV care engagement for people living with HIV in rural Arkansas and examined the temporal trends and state-level differences in telehealth availability for mental health treatment settings.

Baloh's publications address various aspects of healthcare delivery and quality improvement. Recent work includes investigations into evidence-based quality improvement in pre-implementation phases, the organizational influences on implementation using a theory-based framework, and the establishment of a practice-based research network for rural community pharmacies. He has also studied infection control practices within hospitals, including the effectiveness of direct gloving versus hand hygiene and the alcohol-based decontamination of gloved hands.

His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 12, with 41 total publications and 485 total citations. Baloh actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Geoffrey M. Curran, Mofan Gu, S. Alexandra Marshall, and George Pro, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications.
