Dr. Burkhart's passion is to build bridges across chasms.聽 This included developing spiritual, religious and ethics terms in international standardized healthcare terminologies used in electronic health records, thereby providing the ability to document and measure the effect of spiritual care on patient outcomes.聽 She authored a middle range theory of spiritual care in nursing practice that has been used in research and guides nursing education in undergraduate and graduate textbooks. Currently, she is Principal Investigator on three research studies bridging acute and community-based care to support interprofessional and whole person care.聽 Dr. Burkhart uses mixed methods research to reveal the complexity of Veteran life experiences to inform health system processes to better meet the needs of Veterans within the context of life.聽 Currently she leads a team to develop a decision support tool to prevent community-acquired pressure injuries in Veterans living with spinal cord injury (SCI) for use in the SCI clinic.聽 Dr. Burkhart has served on grant review boards for the Paralyzed Veterans of America and the Agency for Health, Research and Quality.
Through her dedication to teaching, research and service, Dr. Burkhart has touched many hearts. With her students, she promotes the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom through scholarship, faith, and love. In practice and research, colleagues value her commitment to achieve better health outcomes by confronting challenges in processes and systems. Dr. Burkhart’s work resonates with the Lasallian values of fidelity, justice, and community that are so essential to discovering meaning and making a difference in our world. We welcome the opportunity to Celebrate Scholarship with Dr. Burkhart.
