Dr. Woods-Hill is working to develop and pilot a predictive model to better identify high-risk patients and reduce central-line associated bloodstream infection rates. She is a co-investigator and site principal investigator on the AHRQ-funded Bright STAR Collaborative, a multicenter investigation into the impact of diagnostic stewardship for bloodstream infections in the PICU on antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance. Currently she is enrolled in the Masters of Science in Health Policy program at the University of Pennsylvania supported by an NIH T32 training grant, as well as an associate fellow at the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics, where her focus is on translating health policy and health systems-based investigations into reductions in preventable patient harm in the critical care setting.
