Angela M. Stover, PhD, is an Associate Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Gillings School of Global Public Health, Department of Health Policy and Management. She co-directs the Implementation Science Methods Unit at NC TraCS (NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award). With over 20 years of experience, her work bridges implementation science, health services research, and patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) to address gaps in clinical practice and improve patient-clinic outcomes.

• Education: BA in Psychology and Sociology (Westminster University), MA in Psychometrics (University of Pittsburgh), PhD in Health Behavior (UNC-Chapel Hill)

Research Interests:

• Implementation Science: Identifying barriers to integrating evidence-based practices into clinics, focusing on PROMs as standards of care.
• Patient-Reported Outcomes: Developing tools like EHR SmartForms for pharmacist-led symptom monitoring and evaluating their impact on cancer care.
• Cancer Outcomes: Investigating symptom burden in chronic conditions, care delivery models, and psychometric validation of questionnaires.

Article Trends: Dr. Stover's recent work emphasizes remote symptom monitoring, pharmacist roles in PROMs, and implementation frameworks like i-PARIHS. Her research spans eHealth solutions for ostomy care, real-world adaptations of PROMs, and stakeholder-driven quality metrics in oncology.
