Implementation
How does a safety-net clinic deliver outpatient care for injection-related infections? The implementation work describes the service and how it operates.

Care beyond
the encounter.
At UCSF, I study how a safety-net service delivers outpatient infection care, and how its records support an account of follow-up.

Describe how care operates
My implementation framework examines how the service delivers care in its setting.
- Follow-up record
Separate people from visits
A return encounter adds a visit. It does not necessarily add a new patient. The ledger below makes that distinction visible.
- Evaluation
Connect service and resources
I developed the cost-benefit and social-return analyses. Both first-author manuscripts are under review; unpublished results remain private.
Clinical research
Care delivered.
Follow-up documented.
Health economics
I developed the implementation framework and the cost-benefit and social-return analyses. I am first author on both manuscripts, currently under review. The public illustration below explains a counting problem; it contains no patient data or unpublished cohort totals.

A missing follow-up entry is not proof that no care occurred. Care elsewhere, incomplete documentation and no return visit can leave different gaps in the record.
