Her research focuses on customer experience in regards to health plans, life sciences firms, and hospitals. She joined Forrester in 1997 and co-founded Forrester's healthcare and life sciences research practice in 1999.
Liz leads Forrester's healthcare and life sciences research community, and her own research focuses on several topics within the area of healthcare customer experience. She works with national and regional health plans to improve Web site usability, and decision support for members, employers, providers, and brokers. Her research and consulting helps plans drive administrative efficiency and loyalty, as well as helping to uncover emerging best practices around technology-mediated wellness and disease management.

Finally, Liz researches usability and technology adoption for seniors, as well as document and device usability, particularly as they relate to healthcare and life sciences.
