Her work bridges research and practice in health services, focusing on value-based healthcare and learning health systems.

Her research interests center on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights. She specializes in analyzing routinely collected health data—including electronic medical records, insurance claims, and patient-reported outcomes—to evaluate care quality and patient preferences. Her primary clinical focus is inflammatory bowel disease, but she also conducts research in Parkinson’s disease, prostate and thyroid cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, and emergency medicine. She applies advanced methods in health services research, healthcare analytics, and medical statistics to generate actionable evidence.

The recent trend in her publications reflects a strong commitment to patient-centered care and implementation science. Her work spans topics such as remission communication in IBD, remote monitoring in Parkinson’s, outcome feedback for quality improvement, and real-world treatment patterns in oncology. These studies highlight her interdisciplinary approach, combining clinical insight with epidemiological and statistical rigor.

Dr. van Deen has contributed to over 40 peer-reviewed scientific articles, many published in high-impact journals. While no specific awards or fellowships are listed, her research aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being), particularly through efforts to enhance healthcare quality and equity.

She collaborates extensively across disciplines and institutions, contributing to team-based research in complex health systems. Though no formal advising role or grant funding is mentioned, her active publication record suggests ongoing involvement in research projects and mentorship within her academic environment.

Dr. van Deen is also associated with research networks in both the United States and the Netherlands, working with national and regional learning health systems to translate evidence into practice. Her ORCID profile (0000-0002-4836-9849) provides a full record of her scholarly output.
