Description

The Division of Healthcare Outcomes Research in the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine brings together a core group of faculty with expertise in outcomes research as it applies to the health care system. Faculty members have expertise in: clinical and health care epidemiology, process improvement research, technology assessment, clinical decision making, and healthcare administration, policy and health economics.

The faculty has expertise in:

  • clinical epidemiology,
  • process improvement research,
  • technology assessment,
  • medical sociology,
  • clinical decision making,
  • healthcare administration, policy and economics.

The research interests of the group are diverse. Mary-Claire Roghmann, Jon Furuno, Anthony Harris, Eli Perencevich and Lucia Nemoy study infectious disease, as well as antibiotic-resistant bacteria and healthcare-associated infections. Their research projects are multidisciplinary involving collaborators in microbiology, genetics, health informatics, economics, mathematical modeling and statistics. Douglas D. Bradham is an economist and health services researcher. In addition to collaborating on infectious disease projects, he is involved in clinical trials assessing new medical technologies in multiple sclerosis and cardiac surgery.

Division members are actively involved in teaching medical and graduate student courses and in the mentoring of pre-doctoral students and post-doctoral fellows. Division members have been successful in obtaining career development grants from the Veterans Administration and the National Institutes of Health. We provide opportunities for trainees to conduct mentored research and receive advanced training in clinical research skills.
