Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Mandana Rezaeiahari's research focuses on health policy and management, with a particular emphasis on understanding and addressing health disparities. Her work investigates the socioeconomic determinants impacting the implementation of healthcare technologies, such as remote patient monitoring in hospitals. She has also examined the effects of major health events and system changes on health outcomes, including the impact of COVID-19 on opioid overdose deaths in Arkansas and the transition from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM coding on severe maternal morbidity rates.

Rezaeiahari has developed predictive models for pediatric severe asthma exacerbations using administrative claims data and explored patient population segmentation using consumer data for risk prediction. Her research extends to understanding disparities in maternal health through Bayesian network analysis and examining the utilization of diabetes self-management education among Medicare beneficiaries in Arkansas. She is a Principal Investigator on federal grants, including an NIH award to study diabetes self-management education using social network analysis.

Her scholarly contributions include 42 publications and 222 citations, with an h-index of 9. Rezaeiahari leads a research group and collaborates extensively with colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including J. Mick Tilford, Anthony Goudie, Akilah A. Jefferson, and Arina Eyimina.
