Biography/Responsibilities/Duties:

After basic medical (MBBS) degree, gained experience in Internal Medicine for five years. Obtained a post-graduate (MD) degree in Anaesthesiology and was employed with the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Barbados for five years before joining the University of the West Indies (UWI), St. Augustine, Trinidad. Primary area of academic specialty is application and validation of ‘prognostic models’ for evaluating risk-adjusted mortality in ICU and other healthcare units. Risk-adjusted outcomes has been the traditional ‘metric of performance’ of any healthcare unit. However, in addition to ‘outcomes’ of patients, ‘process’ of care is also an important aspect of a unit’s real performance. Several innovative models were developed adapting tools from the ‘project management’ arena, for process-based performance appraisal as well as quality improvement of healthcare units. This has been a pioneering work in the area of healthcare management. Cost evaluation /cost-effectiveness analysis is another major focus of research based on which, obtained a PhD in Health Economics. Other areas of research include Clinical Critical Care, Clinical Anaesthesia, Medical Ethics, Pain Management, General Surgery and Medical Education.
