Anna Rose Templeton, DNP

Anna has applied theoretical frameworks and models to inform design, data collection, analysis, and interpretation and balanced methodological needs with the expressed needs, priorities, and

contexts of patients, providers, health systems, and health policy. She has developed robust, community-driven processes to integrate quantitative, qualitative, and policy level findings and successfully translated these into interventions with a high likelihood of improving evidence-based care delivery.

Anna has led practical evaluation and developed, conducted, and delivered subsequent trainings to support capacity building and engagement in research through professional development and quality improvement initiatives. At the University of Dundee, she worked in tandem with National Health Services of Scotland’s professional development arm and the School of Dentistry to link professional training and continuing education opportunities with practice-based initiatives. At OCHIN, she is working to mature the PBRN framework (including patient engagement) and build research capacity with member organizations.
