Jeana Holt, PhD, DNP, RN, FNP-BC, APNP

Dr. Holt’s clinical practice, academic training, leadership opportunities, and research experience focus on improving health equity by uncovering and addressing root causes that contribute to physical and behavioral health disparities. She achieves this through the application of implementation science methods that promote the uptake, integration, and sustainability of proven practices, interventions, and policies into clinical care. Dr. Holt values engagement with individuals, families, and communities as a critical component of the process.

The purpose of Dr. Holt's research is to understand the complex relationships between social and structural determinants of health, from biology to policy, and nursing science.

Description of program of research: Often, populations that experience health disparities face social and structural elements that negatively impact their overall health status. At the community and system level, Dr. Holt co-develops, tests, and evaluates interventions that address health's social and structural determinants using discovery, implementation science, community-based participatory research, and design thinking methods. In addition, she empowers the next generation of advanced practice nurses and nurse scientists to influence system change by incorporating design thinking methodologies into the curriculum.

Dr. Holt operationalizes this by:

• Analyzing existing datasets using predictive analytics, statistics, and modeling techniques applied to historical data to predict future maternal and infant outcomes.
• Co-developing and testing interventions with community members to contextualize data and understand people, their health, and priorities.
• Examining the implementation of technology designed to share patients’ needs, values, and preferences with care teams.
• Developing care systems responsive to community-level strengths, challenges, and needs using the Omaha System that systematically and comprehensively collects whole-person data and intervention preferences.
