Dr. Rosen's research interests center on health services research, particularly in the areas of patient safety, healthcare quality measurement, and Veterans Health Administration systems. Her work examines readmission rates, surgical outcomes, and health disparities, with a special emphasis on how measurement systems can be improved to better capture quality of care. She has made significant contributions to understanding how patient safety indicators function within complex healthcare systems, particularly in the VA context where she has studied both inpatient and outpatient care settings.

Her recent publications reveal a strong focus on healthcare disparities, particularly regarding racial, ethnic, and rural variations in access to care for veterans. She has also conducted important work on deprescribing interventions, community care options through the MISSION Act, and standardizing patient safety event reporting across different care settings. Her methodological expertise in statistical analysis of healthcare data is evident across her publications, which often employ sophisticated techniques to examine complex healthcare system interactions.

Dr. Rosen has been instrumental in developing and validating patient safety indicators used within the Veterans Health Administration. Her work has helped shape how healthcare quality is measured and reported, particularly regarding surgical outcomes, readmission rates, and disparities in care. She has contributed significantly to understanding how different measurement approaches affect hospital profiling and payment systems.

While specific grant information isn't detailed in the available text, Dr. Rosen's extensive publication record suggests significant research funding, particularly from agencies focused on veterans' health and healthcare quality improvement. Her work appears to involve collaboration with multiple VA facilities and research centers, indicating a strong network of research partnerships focused on improving healthcare delivery systems.
