Dr. Hogan is a social scientist trained in organizational and strategic management theory. Her theory-based, applied research examines health care organizations and the design and delivery of health care. Dr. Hogan’s research interests are driven by her five years of professional experience working in the financial services industry, where she worked with health care delivery organizations and other industries to provide financing for strategic initiatives. Her responsibilities during that time ranged from evaluating the financial viability of different strategic initiatives, pricing different financing structures (debt/equity), reporting on the financial performance and future financial plans of businesses and supporting senior executive teams with financial data to facilitate effective strategic decision making. These experiences afforded her an appreciation for the complexity and multitude of factors that can influence how health care organizations respond to changes in their environment and the implementation of innovations to improve outcomes.

Dr. Hogan’s research interest focuses on exploring how health care organizations adapt and change in response to their environment and advances in health care delivery with an emphasis on at-risk populations. This research primarily draws from and contributes to management and health care organizational theory, but also uses elements of economic theory, sociological theory and implementation science frameworks. This approach enables her to advance knowledge on topics at the intersection of management, health services research, health policy and public health. Her high-quality, applied research relies on partnerships and a mixed methods approach. Her research focuses on health care organizations such as hospital systems, nursing homes, primary care practices, federally qualified health centers and community mental health centers.
