Title: Improving Health Communication and Self-Management of Heart Failure

Dr. Dawon Baik is a postdoctoral research fellow at Columbia University, School of Nursing. The goal of her research is to develop interventions that reduce the health disparities of underserved patients with heart failure. Her program of research focuses on improving health communication of heart failure, including symptom self-care management over the disease course including end-of-life, using an interprofessional team-based care approach and mobile health (mHealth) technology.

Dr. Baik has examined health communication between interprofessional healthcare team members who care for heart failure patients. As a postdoctoral research fellow, Dr. Baik has focused on patient-reported outcomes such as symptom burden and health status of heart failure patients using mHealth technology. She has currently extended her research into palliative care through collaboration with the Cardiac Hospice team at the Visiting Nurse Service of New York. She has 15 peer-reviewed publications.

Dr. Baik has received the University of Washington’s Hester McLaws Research Award for demonstrating excellence in nursing research and the T32 NIH/NINR grant for her postdoctoral research in 2017-2019.
