Biography

Patrick Brady, MD, MSc, has clinical training in pediatrics and hospital medicine as well as advanced training in epidemiology and biostatistics and in the science of improvement through two 6-month courses at Cincinnati Children’s. He has completed coursework at the graduate level in human factors and through the Systems Engineering in Patient Safety (SEIPS) workshop led by NIH-funded researchers at the University of Wisconsin.

Their pilot work on a system to proactively identify, mitigate and escalate risk has resulted in measured decreases in patient harm and deterioration. The Academy for Healthcare Improvement recently recognized this work with top prize at its international meeting. Dr. Brady's current focus builds logically on this work, and his research team includes clinical and methodological experts with impressive research portfolios both inside and outside of healthcare.

In summary, Dr. Brady has the training, experience and collaborators needed to study and improve the care of patients at risk for deterioration, to define highly reliable interventions that deliver the right therapeutics early, and to improve the safety of patients in our increasingly complex healthcare system.

Dr. Brinkman researches shared decision-making between patients/parents and clinicians to promote high value care that is evidence-based and family-centered. He led a team to develop a shared decision-making intervention for ADHD treatment. Parents became better informed and more involved in decisions without increasing visit length. He is currently collaborating on grant-funded research to facilitate shared decision making in the care of families facing decisions about Human Papilloma Virus Vaccination and those facing decisions about treatment for juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

Dr. Brinkman serves as the physician lead for the James M. Anderson Center Rapid Evidence Adoption to improve Child Health (REACH) team. In this role, he is building an infrastructure to support shared decision-making throughout CCHMC.

Quality of care during birth hospitalization for late preterm and other high risk newborns; neonatal readmission; prevention of preterm birth

Biography

Neera Goyal, MD MSHP, is a general pediatrician and a child health researcher. Her research interests are in perinatal care – in particular, how Level 1 and Level 2 birth hospitals manage higher risk term and late preterm newborns. She has studied the impact of delivery volume, teaching affiliation, and patient insurance on adherence to guidelines for postpartum length of stay, and she is currently researching the impact of discharge timing on risk of readmission for late preterm newborns. She has also conducted research on the impact of late preterm birth on early childhood respiratory morbidity and physical development. Dr. Goyal’s work has been published in peer-reviewed literature, and in 2011 she received the Pediatric Academic Societies Travel Award for Young Investigators.

Originally from Dallas, TX, Dr. Goyal received her bachelor’s degree in Atlanta, Georgia at Emory University, majoring in Philosophy. She earned her M.D. from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. She completed a pediatrics residency at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in 2008 and worked as a neonatology hospitalist from 2008-2009. She then pursued further training in health services research as a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholar at University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. She joined Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center in 2011 as a faculty member with a joint appointment in the Division of Neonatology and the Division of General and Community Pediatrics, Section of Hospital Medicine.

Biography

Brian E. Volck, MD, was born in Cincinnati. He worked as a general pediatrician for the Indian Health Service from 1989-1994, at a Federally Qualified Community Health Center from 1994-1996, and with a university-based medicine/pediatrics residency program from 1996-2009. His global health service includes medical work in Honduras and the Navajo Nation.

His medical education innovations include: founding and teaching a medical student elective on literature and medicine; planning and serving as co-founding faculty in the Initiative in Poverty, Justice and Health, which introduces medical students and primary-care residents to the care of persons in poverty; and assisting in the development of a global child health track within the pediatric residency program.

He is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Native American Child Health, which conducts site visits to hospitals and medical centers providing care to American Indians and Alaska Natives and advocates for the health of Native Children. He is the US Chairperson for the Fifth International Meeting on Indigenous Child Health, scheduled for April, 2013, in Portland, Oregon. He is currently researching and writing a book on inherited diseases and the intersection of culture, health, and history in the Navajo.
