Biography

Farinaz Havaei is a health system researcher with a passion for improving the quality and safety of healthcare services across the healthcare spectrum, particularly in the long-term care (LTC) sector. Recognizing the critical role that nurses play in ensuring patient health and safety, her research studies system-level factors—such as organizational and policy levels—that improve the psychological health and workplace safety of nurses, thus enhancing their ability to deliver effective patient care. Dr. Havaei is the lead investigator for several provincially (MSFHR) and nationally (CIHR) funded research projects that examine the impacts of pandemic management strategies on high-risk LTC sites. She specializes in psychometrics and has acted as the primary methodologist for various quantitative research projects. Dr. Havaei's current research is timely and relevant, given the necessary redesign of the LTC sector highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
