Her current role is to enhance the day-to-day pediatric readiness of emergency departments (EDs) across the Northwell Health System, improve pediatric patient safety in the ED, elevate the needs of children to the healthcare system level, and foster the relationships among the emergency departments and the children’s hospital.
At a national level, she has provided advice and technical assistance to several professional organization such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Emergency Physicians, and American Academy of Emergency medicine, including drafting policy recommendations and developing clinical guidelines to enhance the care of children in the ED. She has been recognized with national and state awards for the commitment to improving the care of children in the emergency department.
She has lectured extensively on pediatric emergency medicine topics both at local, regional, national, and international level.
Dr. Barata has had the opportunity to be a mentor for research academic associates, medical students, residents, and faculty in both research projects and mentoring with a focus on career development. More recently she has also become a formal mentor for faculty at the Zucker School of Medicine. Dr. Barata’s enthusiasm, love of medicine, science, and people make her an exceptional mentor.
She also has wonderful genes with a mother who is in her 90's who is living independently in another state. This presents challenges and she wishes to share the knowledge she has gained in order to help other EM physicians. As a member of the Aging Well in Emergency Medicine interest group, she has a drive to share this helpful information with the membership of AAEM.
