OUTCOMES RESEARCH PROGRAM
The program has initiated an effort to develop a paperless process for
capturing patient report outcomes. ORP has supported the efforts of CIR
in developing a universal, electronic database for all participants in clinical
research. ORP has also developed an internal network resource for
all Inova research spokes to access information associated with the outcomes
tools and resources to facilitate study development.
Naomi Lynn Gerber, MD, internationally renowned physician-investigator,
leads the Center as the Medical Director of the Functional Assessment
Laboratory. Dr. Gerber is the current director of the Center for the Study
of Chronic Illness and Disability at George Mason University and brings
her vast knowledge and experience as former Chief of the Rehabilitation
Medicine Department at The NIH. In addition to Dr. Gerber, Jillian
Kallman, MS, Program Manager of ORP provides a strong administrative
base for the program, as well as years of clinical research protocol development,
grant and publication submission support, education and training
on the inclusion and implementation of outcomes measures in research
studies within Inova Health System. Mani Srishord, RN, BSN, Administrative
Director, assists and supports all aspects of the clinical operation as
well as research projects. Another faculty member from George Mason
University, Patrice Winter PT, MS, joined ORP in 2009. Patrice brings
the experience of over thirty years as a physical therapist to the team.
She is assistant faculty at George Mason University and is in the ORP
lab three days per week. This team as well as other collaborators from
Inova Health System and George Mason University, continue to be involved
in diverse research projects.
