Dr. Payton's research involves healthcare and digital equity in the context of information and communication technologies (ICT). This includes the discourse of inclusion and exclusion in ICT domains. Her dissertation topic and earlier research examined the design and implementation of regional health information networks along the data management issues impacting interorganizational networked environments.
