Current Research and Scholarly Interests
Our main areas of interest are clinical research in shock, sepsis, multiple organ faliure and ICU pneumonia, as well as organizational characteristic of well functioning trauma centers and systems.
We have also developed a robust program in Health Services Research focused on access to specialized, high acuity care and the economic impact of this on the hospital and healthcare system.
We also have an ongoing, multi-centered NIH funded study on "Development of a Risk Factor Screen for Mental Health Problems after Sudden Illness or Injury." This study runs through 2021.
