Dr. Mueller’s research career has centered around the experience of children with cancer and their caregivers as they navigate their healthcare journeys. Specifically, her research revealed that children with cancer have high healthcare utilization with about 50% experiencing an emergency department visit within one year after diagnosis. Therefore, she engaged with caregivers to understand their experience when seeking urgent or emergent care for their child with cancer. Her research with caregivers led to a National Cancer Institute career development award to co-design and create an mHeath tool to support caregivers in the medical management of their child with cancer. Her 5 years of experience as the Pediatric Hematology Oncology and Stem Cell Transplant Inpatient Medical Director has provided her with multi-disciplinary experience in identifying problems and generating solutions with input from key stakeholders. Dr. Mueller has cultivated a dedication for including key stakeholders in her research and clinical endeavors. Dr. Mueller has two main research agendas:
1. Network and collaborate with others on continued efforts to improve the experience of caregivers of children with cancer
2. Co-design and implement system-wide and organization level interventions to improve workforce well-being for healthcare professionals
