Biography
Dr. Babcock is a Board Certified Pediatric Emergency Medicine Physician with over 10 years of experience caring for acutely ill and injured children. She was a member of the Faculty of Emergency Medicine and Pediatrics at the University of Rochester for nine years prior to joining Cincinnati Children's in the summer of 2009. She has an extensive academic portfolio that includes numerous clinical, teaching, administrative and research pursuits. Her true scholarly passion is to make a difference in the outcome of children who sustain mild traumatic brain injuries. Despite traumatic brain injuries being the leading cause of death and disability for children, research in this field has been insufficient as compared to its public health importance. Dr. Babcock is interested in uncovering novel serum markers and radiographic markers to predict the outcomes of children after sustaining a traumatic brain injury.

Biography
Srikant Iyer, MD, MPH, completed his residency in categorical pediatrics and fellowship in pediatric emergency medicine at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center in 2000 and 2005, respectively. He also completed his Masters degree in 2005 from the Harvard School of Public Health. Dr. Iyer’s initial research efforts were directed toward improving efficiency of care, specifically via the use of point-of-care testing. These efforts were funded by an industry-sponsored grant from Quidel, Inc., as well as a CCHMC T32 Award from 2004-2006. His interests broadened to include both improvements in timeliness and efficiency, specifically toward improving acute pain management in acute care settings. These efforts were funded by a Place Outcomes Award and an award from the Mayday Fund from 2008-2010. Dr. Iyer’s current work has broadened further to involve improvements in timeliness of care for patients seeking care in open access systems. His most recent effort has been directed toward designing an emergency department fast track care stream to improve the timeliness of care delivery in this system. To aid him in these efforts, he has received formal training in QI methods, LEAN, statistical process control, queuing theory, and improvement science from CCHMC and the Institute for Health Care Improvement (IHI). Dr. Iyer has also served as the Improvement Advisor for the National Pediatric Cardiology Quality Improvement Collaborative since 2006. In December 2012, Dr. Iyer was offered a one year appointment in the CMS Innovation Advisors Program(IAP). His appointment is administered by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) on behalf of the Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Center.
