DGIM faculty are also actively engaged in research and other scholarly pursuits. Our research ranges from translational work in thrombosis to value-driven outcomes (VDO) initiatives in our learning health system. DGIM faculty were among the central team in describing the cutting-edge work in VDO (JAMA. 2016), and continue to lead several quality-based initiatives across U of U, including those related to sepsis and lab utilization. DGIM faculty play key roles in campus research leadership, including the U of U CTSA and PCORnet clinical data research network. Our priority areas of scholarship include thrombosis, sepsis, hypertension, lifestyle change/diabetes prevention, and learning health system innovation.
