Research Interests
Dr. Horswell works extensively on the development of new or enhanced methods for data analysis, especially for what is now call “big data.” He also has a strong interest in expanding the scope of data resources that can be used for health-related research; that is, increasing the feasibility of using existing data from different type of organizations (e.g., insurers as well as health care provider systems) and from both large and small data-owning organizations. Topically, his research interests focus on evidence gaps in health care delivery; for example, cancer screening issues that arise in clinical practice, but which the existing evidence and guidelines do not adequately address.
