The foci of her research are the evaluation of methods for improving the quality of health care, the design and measurement of nursing sensitive patient outcomes, health care teams, and innovations in patient safety. One group of studies has focused on the evaluation of interventions designed to teach members of multidisciplinary teams methods for making improvements in clinical practice. A second group of studies is focusing on the evaluation of methods for assessing a select set of patient outcomes that are sensitive to nursing care. A third study is focusing on an evaluation of the feasibility and cost of instituting data collection on nursing sensitive outcomes for acute care, home care, long-term care and complex continuing care. Dr. Doran has published articles on quality improvement in health care, nursing sensitive outcomes, and health care teams.
