Dr. Smith is a pediatric cardiac intensivist whose academic efforts focus upon understanding and improving outcomes for children following congenital heart surgery. Specifically, his interests include the application of supervised machine learning approaches to better appreciate modifiable risk factors associated with postoperative clinical outcomes, understanding and mitigating the cognitive burden associated with interruptive alerts in an intensive care unit environment, and leveraging clinical registry experience to explore linkages between large administrative and clinical datasets to better understand resource demands associated with high-quality care. For over 15 years, he has also pursued his interest in personalized medicine by exploring the role of genetic variants and their contribution to postoperative outcomes commonly encountered in the cardiac intensive care unit.
