Research

Some of my PhD. work is practical in nature, applying time-driven activity-based costing and process mining to clinical and organizational data, aimed at health economics, management and services outlets. The majority of my work is theory driven, and is concerned with the datafication of clinical and managerial data, the shifting accountabilities of medical managers and clinicians, and the behavioural dynamics of accounting technologies within healthcare organizations.
