2. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Dr. Jochen Profit’s lab uses transdisciplinary team science to optimize health care delivery for sick neonates and their families. The lab facilitates this goal at the level of the healthcare system as well as at the level of individual care delivery facilities. A key strength of the lab is access to California Perinatal Quality Care Collaborative (CPQCC) resources. The CPQCC coordinates quality improvement activities across the state, via audit and feedback of clinical and operational data and via active quality improvement collaborative programs centered around clinical improvement aims. Nearly all neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in California are members of the CPQCC. Uniquely, CPQCC data are linked to a variety of data sources, which allow for investigation of maternal health, socio-demographic background, infant inter-hospital transfer, and long-term infant follow up.
