Dr. Vahid Salehi is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of New Brunswick. He is a multidisciplinary researcher at the intersection of human factors, resilience engineering, systems thinking, and healthcare. He has been an author of over 40 peer-reviewed publications. His research focuses on modelling, analyzing, and improving socio-technical systems. It mainly focuses on modelling healthcare systems, visualizing care, and improving the overall quality of care by applying human factors principles and methods. The focus of his current research is on designing an Integrated Care Pathway that models the delivery of healthcare services for newcomers in New Brunswick's settlement communities. This will be achieved by understanding and analyzing the current healthcare delivery processes and identifying barriers and opportunities to transition towards a more coordinated and person-centered healthcare system. The Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM), a systems-thinking approach, is used to model, understand, and analyze the healthcare processes in Fredericton.
