Dr. Utidjian is a pediatric hospitalist and clinical informatician who is interested in clinical decision support and the secondary use of electron health records data for research.
Dr. Muthu's research interest is in cognitive informatics and clinical decision support systems. His current focus is on the recognition of clinical deterioration in hospitalized children, integration of risk predictions into decision support and how decision support systems affect patient safety.
Dr. Grundmeier’s research focuses on maximizing the existing and future potential of electronic health records (EHRs) for clinical research and knowledge delivery, with an overarching goal of improving health and healthcare for children.
Dr. Jenssen's research involves the use of clinical decision support systems and population health management techniques to protect children from secondhand smoke exposure and tobacco use. More broadly, he focuses on leveraging health information technology to engineer and implement novel approaches and products to improve care for children and their parents.
Dr. Simpao, a pediatric anesthesiologist and clinical informatician, has a strong track record of innovation and research. He's led projects that use visual analytics and machine learning models to derive insights and predict outcomes using large healthcare data sets.
Dr. Rasooly's research aims to understand diagnostic decision making and leverage the electronic health record to support diagnostic excellence. Her current work focuses on recognition of child abuse, evaluating decision making in simulation, and improving diagnostic performance at CHOP.
Dr. Goldsmith examines how clinicians can best capture, analyze, and visualize patient physiologic vital sign data to understand underlying disease physiology and make better informed decisions.
Dr. Barakat's research is focused on examining risk-and-resilience models to characterize disease management and health-related quality of life of children with chronic health conditions and their families. Another focus of investigation is translation of these models into evidence-based assessment (family psychosocial risk screening) as well as family-based, mHealth interventions to improve disease management and to support medical decision-making for youth with cancer and their families.
Dr. Ku's research focuses on quality improvement in pediatric emergency medicine as well as clinical standards with implementation of clinical decision support to improve patient care.
Dr. Fiks’ research is aimed at improving outcomes for ambulatory pediatric patients through primary care, practice-based scholarship with a focus on improving health and healthcare decision-making through health information technology.
