耶茨·科利博士, is a biostatistician whose research promotes predictive analytics and 学习卫生系统 as a way to improve value quality, 以及医疗服务的公平性. Their statistical research focuses on developing clinical 预测 models that are accurate, 可操作的, 和公平. This work spans several statistical domains including repeated measurements, 缺失的数据, 还有机器学习.

Dr. 考利的论文 racial and ethnic inequity in two suicide 预测 models 被授予 年度最佳论文 在 Healthcare Systems 世界杯下注网站 Network 2021 Annual Conference. The two models performed well for visits by patients who were White, 拉美裔, and Asian but did not accurately identify high-risk visits for patients who were Black, 美国印第安人, 和阿拉斯加本地人, likely due to persistent structural barriers limiting access to affordable, 高质量的, and culturally competent mental health care. The study emphasized the importance of assessing performance within racial and ethnic subgroups of all 预测 models before clinical implementation to ensure that 预测 models ameliorate, 而不是恶化, 现有的健康差距.

Dr. Coley is a graduate of  the CATALyST K12 Washington 学习健康系统计划 funded by the Agency for Healthcare 世界杯下注网站 and Quality and the Patient-Centered Outcomes 世界杯下注网站 Institute. As part of their training in learning health system research, Dr. Coley studied current barriers to implementing evidence-based predictive analytics tools to help develop 预测 tools that can be deployed and sustained in clinical care. Their research plan also focused on statistical methods to address racial bias in clinical 预测 algorithms.     

Before starting as an assistant investigator at 凯撒永久医疗机构华盛顿 Health 世界杯下注网站 Institute (KPWHRI) in 2016, Dr. Coley was a postdoctoral research fellow at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. 在那里, they worked with urologists to develop a 预测 model that enables personalized management of low-risk prostate cancer.

Dr. Coley completed their 博士学位 in biostatistics 在 University of Washington. Their dissertation research proposed methods to improve effectiveness estimates in HIV prevention trials by accounting for unobserved variability in risk.

在KPWHRI, Dr. Coley collaborates on projects across a range of research areas including mental health, 乳腺癌影像学检查, 老化, 健康服务. 他们也是领导者 预测分析工作 and direct biostatistical support for KPWHRI’s Center for Accelerating Care Transformation.
