As physician lead for Emergency Medicine for the electronic health record of the LA County Department of Health Services (DHS), my interests include using large clinical datasets for research. Seeing over 400,000 ED patients annually, the three emergency departments of LA DHS share a single electronic health record and provide a wealth of data for researchers at Harbor-UCLA. Recent projects include antibiotic and opioid stewardship interventions, national epidemiology of firearms injuries, pediatric appendicitis, and trauma epidemiology. Pubmed Bibliography.
