Inas S. Khayal serves as Associate Professor at The Dartmouth Institute and Biomedical Data Science at Dartmouth College's Geisel School of Medicine, with an adjunct appointment in Computer Science. She leads the Sustainable Health Lab focused on improving chronic care delivery through model-based systems engineering and data science.
- PhD, University of California, San Francisco
- PhD, University of California, Berkeley
- B.S., Boston University
Dr. Khayal's research addresses multi-level interconnected healthcare systems, specializing in implementation science, quality measurement, health equity, and organizational behavior. Her work bridges data science with practical healthcare delivery challenges, particularly in palliative and end-of-life cancer care where she investigates racial disparities through clinically informed machine learning approaches. She develops dynamic visualization tools and heatmaps to translate complex data into actionable insights for healthcare systems.
Her recent publications reveal a strong focus on identifying and addressing healthcare disparities, with innovative methodologies combining systems engineering and data science. The research consistently emphasizes actionable solutions for hospitals to tailor interventions based on local resources and patient population characteristics.
