Bio

Michael Seid, PhD, is Director of Health Outcomes and Quality of Care Research in the Division of Pulmonary Medicine and a Core Faculty in the Center for Health Care Quality in the Division of Clinical Effectiveness at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.

Prior to Cincinnati, Dr. Seid spent three years as a behavioral / research scientist at the RAND Corporation and eight years at the Center for Child Health Outcomes at Children's Hospital, San Diego. Dr. Seid's research focuses are measuring and improving pediatric health care quality and health-related quality of life for chronically ill children and understanding the interactions between vulnerable chronically ill children and the health care system, the barriers to care faced by these populations, and policies and programs to overcome these barriers to care. He also has expertise in disease management, health disparities, quality improvement and public health preparedness.

Dr. Seid has been Principal Investigator of numerous research studies, including a $1.1 million grant to measure quality of care for vulnerable children, and a $1.9 million grant to reduce barriers to care for vulnerable children. Dr. Seid has served as the Chair of Children's Hospital San Diego's Institutional Review Board, as a member of the Health Care Quality and Effectiveness Research (HCQER) Study Section at the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research, and on several national and local expert panels. He is on the Review Board of the Journal of Clinical Outcomes Management and an ad hoc reviewer for Health Services Research, Pediatrics, and the Journal of Ambulatory Pediatrics.

Dr. Seid has been published widely in such journals as Medical Care, HSR: Health Services Research, Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Pediatrics, American Journal of Medical Quality, the Journal of Ambulatory Pediatrics, and Milbank Quarterly.
