Acute Care & Emergency Medicine
Our investigators develop innovative, patient-centered care practices to improve the quality, safety and efficiency of trauma, emergency, acute and critical care. Investigators are also focused on improving patients’ experience of emergency and critical care, quality of life during and after critical illness, and tackling policy and systems barriers that limit clinicians’ ability to deliver acute care efficiently and equitably.
