Background

Dr. Ramly’s work aims to turn science into health by using his dual expertise in implementation science and systems engineering. His research program develops and tests innovative methods for the human-centered design and implementation of systems interventions to improve health and reduce disparities among older adults and patients experiencing multiple chronic conditions including cardiovascular disease or diabetes.

Dr. Ramly’s 15 years of research on digital and organizational innovations produced effective and broadly implemented solutions that reduced translational and disparities gaps in chronic care and prevention including blood pressure control and tobacco cessation in primary care. Research interests include health equity and disparities, evidence-based practice gaps, telehealth, and long-term care including assisted living and nursing homes.

Dr. Ramly has received funding from both the NIH (NCATS) and AHRQ (K01, R21, R18, U18), and serves on AHRQ national scientific review committees.
