Biography

Dr. Lee’s research focuses on designing, building, and testing the health information technology (HIT) capacity for nursing data acquisition, nursing effectiveness measurement, big data analytics, information exchange, and consumer health informatics. She has developed an automated extraction software, using natural language processing, to transform nursing narratives into quantifiable nursing interventions and outcomes data into standardized nursing terminologies. She developed and tested a mobile app for handoff communication to enhance nurses' and nursing students' clinical judgment competency and nursing handoff practice. She has worked on big data nursing science projects with national research working groups and the database building and analytics with an interdisciplinary informatics research team. Her research of consumer health informatics focuses on the enhancement of laypersons’ knowledge/skills of health promotion management and the expansion of nurses’ roles through survey study, website evaluation, and web mining. She is also developing teaching pedagogies to improve informatics competencies of nursing students.
