M. Kathryn Allison's research focuses on health disparities and the implementation of healthcare interventions, particularly for vulnerable populations. Her work has investigated the experiences of transgender and gender nonbinary patients in emergency departments and explored recommendations for improving healthcare policy, education, and practice. Allison has also examined the perspectives of formerly incarcerated women regarding healthcare decision-making and studied factors influencing telemedicine adoption in emergency departments, including nurses' perceptions of virtual consultations for sexual assault survivors.
Her research extends to maternal health, with a feasibility study on using cellular-enabled remote patient monitoring devices for hypertension management in pregnant women and a scoping review of telehealth interventions for pregnancy in the United States. Allison has also contributed to understanding LGBTQ+ healthcare disparities and inclusive practices through the design of interprofessional educational tools. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 13 across 45 publications, with a total of 585 citations.
