Dr. Anastasia Makhanova's lab at the University of Arkansas focuses on understanding how adverse conditions experienced by healthcare providers, such as stress, burnout, and health concerns, can lead to inconsistencies in patient care. The lab's research addresses the impact of these conditions on decision-making in emergency medicine, particularly for patients with abdominal pain. Through rigorous studies, they aim to uncover the links between provider wellness and healthcare quality, potentially informing interventions to enhance care for vulnerable populations.
