Emily Bucholz Presentation

In April 2017, Dr. Emily Bucholz was recognized with a Top 10 Clinical Research Achievement Award by the Clinical Research Forum, a national organization of senior researchers and thought leaders from the nation’s leading academic health centers. Recognizing the need to celebrate U.S. clinical research accomplishments that involve both innovation and impact on human disease, the Clinical Research Forum conducts an annual competition to determine the 10 outstanding research accomplishments in the United States.

During this video, Dr. Bucholz explains the use of life expectancy as a metric to evaluate hospital performance, and how the use of life expectancy can provide a perspective on why which hospital you use matters – and the consequence of having poor quality hospitals.
