Hung, Peiyin

Assistant Professor

My research focuses on geographic disparities in health services and quality of health care in the national, state, and institutional levels (e.g. hospital, nursing home, hospice, etc.). Most of my work integrates: a) Building statistical models to simulate rural healthcare delivery processes; b) Identifying effective health policy interventions to address health disparities; c) Implementing technology changes to help close gaps in costs, access, and quality of care.
