Please join us in welcoming Anoop Mayampurath, PhD, Assistant Professor in Biostatistics & Medical Informatics and co-lead of the ICU Data Science Lab in the UW Department of Medicine, as he presents his work:

“Improving Fairness in the Early Identification of Critical Illness”

About the Research: Hospitals nationwide use early warning scores (EWSs) for the timely identification of critically ill patients. These scores, based on vital signs and laboratory values, drive clinical actions such as rapid response team activation. In this talk, Dr. Mayampurath will discuss his team’s recent efforts to evaluate EWS fairness criteria among patient subgroups and introduce possible strategies to mitigate disparities.

Join us in person for great conversation and light refreshments.

Presenters will share their work, wherever they are in the research process—from developing initial research ideas to final research products—and get valuable feedback from the working group.
What do presenting researchers get out if it?
The diversity of perspectives within the working group will help presenters strengthen their ongoing research. Also, communicating your own research to others is really challenging! As a presenter, this meeting is a great venue to practice presenting your research in a supportive environment.
What does an attendee get out of it?
Attendees get a great chance to stay up to date on the latest health disparities research developments on campus. It’s also a great chance to get more involved, foster connections with colleagues, explore different research topics that you may be interested in, and better understand how all of our efforts at fit together to address health disparities.
