Current Research Interest:
Dr. Rotondi’s fields of research focus on health systems engineering
and health services research methods. His research involves the
design, development, and testing of systems to improve quality,
access, and cost performance, of health, mental health, and social
services. His work to date has included the evaluation of the experiences
of patients receiving intensive care services; the design of e-health
systems to provide therapy, and adjunctive services to persons with
severe chronic illness and their families, delivered to consumers’
homes, and; the assessment of patient and family service needs at
a statewide level.
