Halley Ruppel is an Associate Professor in the research track at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing and a core faculty member of Clinical Futures, a patient outcomes-focused Center of Emphasis in the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute. Her research focuses on barriers and facilitators to implementation and integration of technology into clinical care, with the goal of optimizing safety and outcomes for hospitalized children. She is especially interested in technologies essential to hospital-based nursing practice, including physiologic monitoring devices, electronic health records, and communication technologies. Much of her research has addressed alarm, alert, and notification burden. Dr. Ruppel’s research interests are informed by her time practicing as a registered nurse in pediatric critical care. She obtained a PhD from Yale University School of Nursing and subsequently completed a postdoctoral fellowship in healthcare delivery science and informatics at Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research. Dr. Ruppel also has a master’s in nursing education from New York University College of Nursing and completed a fellowship in simulation-based healthcare education at the New York Simulation Center for the Health Sciences (NYSIM).
