... She also conducts research to assess the real-world utility of genomic testing and sequencing, including the impact of value-based contracts. Michael Murray, M.D., is board certified in internal medicine and medical genetics, and he joined Geisinger Health System as the director of clinical genomics in 2013 after serving on the faculty at Harvard Medical School and as the clinical chief of genetics at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston for 9 years.

... She developed MeTree, a patient-facing family health history–based risk assessment and clinical decision support program designed to facilitate the uptake of risk-stratified evidence-based guidelines in primary care. MeTree was designed to overcome the major barriers to collecting and using high-quality family health histories to guide clinical care and has been shown to be highly effective when integrated into primary care practices.
From page 121...
... His research focuses on cutting-edge health economics and outcomes research, particularly as they pertain to preference-based utility elicitation and health technology assessment. His current program includes the application of stated preference discrete choice experiments to health technologies and health promotion, the microeconometric analysis of discrete choice data, and probabilistic cost effectiveness and net-benefit analysis.
