    From Dr. Vu

    In addition to providing quality care in the hospital setting, I have an interest in the utlization of technology to improve patient care.  As part of the emergency medicine department, I helped to improve the physician scheduling process by implementing  a new web-based scheduling program.  I enjoy using technology to simply and streamline current processes, and to discover new ways to deliver patient care.
