About Brooke Dorsey Holliman

Associate Professor at University of Colorado Anschutz Medical School

Brooke Dorsey Holliman is an Associate Professor at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical School and director of the ACCORDS Qualitative & Mixed Methods Research Core, specializing in qualitative and mixed methods research for dissemination and implementation science. Her work emphasizes health equity, addressing disparities in transgender health, pediatric sepsis in resource-poor settings, disability in minority groups, and clinician workload challenges. She advocates for participatory design, co-creation, and inclusive DEI initiatives to improve healthcare outcomes.

Health Equity and Disparities

Brooke Dorsey Holliman focuses extensively on reducing health inequities, particularly for underserved populations. Her research highlights higher rates of disability and incontinence among minority groups [8], and she contributes to resources for transgender health through participatory design [1]. She also addresses inequities in clinical decision support for pediatric sepsis in resource-poor settings [4] and explores the lifelong challenges of growing up with cerebral palsy [9].

Qualitative and Mixed Methods in Research

A core expertise is navigating qualitative methods in dissemination and implementation (D&I) research [5][11]. She has developed and validated pragmatic measures of co-creation in healthcare [6], and her ResearchGate profiles document extensive works in this area, including 53 publications with 313 citations [9]. As director of the ACCORDS QM2 Research Core, she was recognized by AcademyHealth in 2023 [10].

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism (DEIA)

Holliman is active in DEIA initiatives at CU Anschutz, serving on the DEIA Teaching workgroup [3]. Her contributions underscore institutional efforts to promote inclusion and anti-racism in medical education and practice.

Clinician Workload and Decision-Making

She examines how task switching, information synthesis, and poor design overload clinicians, impacting care quality [7]. This work targets practical improvements in healthcare delivery environments.

Implementation Science and Broader Impacts

Early collaborations include psychology research on women [2], evolving into D&I science. Her scholarship integrates stakeholder engagement, as seen in co-creation measures [6] and transgender health tools [1].
