Berdahl Lab
The Berdahl Laboratory studies healthcare quality and safety in emergency departments and hospitals. We investigate how to ensure that patients receive accurate diagnoses and appropriate, safe treatments for their medical conditions. Our work involves close collaboration with clinicians, patients and caregivers, as well as integration of technological innovations into clinical workflows.

Personal Statement
Patients deserve high-quality healthcare every time they interact with the healthcare system.
