Charles Senteio

Visiting Assistant Professor 2020-2021 Assistant professor, Library and Information Science Department, Rutgers University
The trailblazers in human, academic, scientific and religious freedom have always been in the minority… It will take such a small committed minority to work unrelentingly to win the uncommitted majority. Such a group may transform America’s greatest dilemma into her most glorious opportunity.
— Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Background

Charles Senteio is an assistant professor of library and information science at Rutgers University. He received his PhD in health informatics from the University of Michigan, and also holds an MSW and MBA from the University of Michigan.

Interests

Senteio uses mixed methods to investigate how healthcare practitioners and patients can better use information to improve chronic disease outcomes for at-risk patients – while reducing cost of care – through financially sustainable care delivery models. 

His research agenda includes piloting capabilities to capture and use psychosocial information in clinical settings in order to measure the impact of its use. This research can be applied to develop sustainable models of care delivery, which result in more efficient care, as measured by health outcomes, patient satisfaction, patient activation, and cost of care. He intends to collect and use psychosocial information in order to extend personalized medicine capabilities—which are currently tailored to the genetics of the patient—to the lived experience of the person.
