Defend-able
Last summer, after some months working on a proposal, I slowly came to the realization that I needed a more clinical topic. After some deep thinking, I decided to change direction.
Now, several months later, I have successfully defended my PhD Proposal. I am developing a model to analyze and improve Continuity of Care. Care Continuity is not a new interest (I posted about it in June) and is a topic that keeps me grounded in the clinical aspects of health information science.
It has been a busy ride since I have made the decision – I have had to re-develop knowledge in several new theoretical foundations and methods, but I am excited about the study that I have developed and think that it will have a positive impact in the communities that I will be working with. Stay tuned for more details on my approach in the future.

Actually I was very happy with how things turned out. I am excited to move forward and looking forward to getting through ethics and then to the study.
