Health Outcomes Research

The Health Outcomes Research Group was founded in 2015 with the mission of promoting and protecting the health of people in the community, especially in the hospital setting. We focus our research on detecting potential health risks, characterizing them, identifying their determinants, and designing safe and efficient ways to address them.
