Bio
Jeremiah Brown is the principal investigator on three NIH R01 grants focusing on predictive analytics for readmission and implementation science. He leads a cardiovascular outcomes team at Dartmouth focusing on cardiovascular epidemiology, biomedical informatics research, and implementation science. He has also received funding from the American Heart Association focusing on molecular epidemiology, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) studying patient safety and acute kidney injury, and the Veterans Administration focusing on the development and evaluation of a national risk model for acute kidney injury. Dr. Brown is also the principal investigator on a five-year study focused on testing the use of a Virtual Learning Collaborative (VLC)—augmented by the novel use of Automated Surveillance Reporting (ASR) —to prevent acute kidney injurty (AKI) following cardiac catheterization. Twenty VA hospitals are participating in the nationwide trials, whose findings have potential for improving patient care and outcomes across a wide array of preventive interventions.
An active collaborator on a global scale, Brown develops guidelines for the Acute Kidney Injury Network, is a guidelines taskforce member for the International Consortium of Evidence Based Perfusion, and is a taskforce member for the Workforce on Cardiopulmonary Bypass for the Society for Thoracic Surgeons (STS) where he leads the renal workgroup. He is a member of the American Heart Association (AHA), the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS), American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA), and the Northern New England Cardiovascular Disease Study Group (NNE).
A Professor of Epidemiology, and Professor of Biomedical Data Science and TDI at the Geisel School of Medicine, Brown is committed to supporting student research and instruction. He and the cardiovascular outcomes team train PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, clinical residents and fellows, graduate students, medical school fellows, and undergraduate scholars through the Women in Science (WISP) program, Neukom Institute, and undergraduate advising & research (UGAR).
The author of more than 150 publications, Brown has published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, British Medical Journal Quality and Safety, Circulation, and many others. He serves as epidemiology and statistics editor for the Journal of ExtraCorporeal Technology and a referee for more than a dozen additional medical journals. He earned a MS and PhD from The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice (formally the Center for the Evaluative Clinical Sciences).

Courses Taught
PH 117:
Intro to Quality Improvement in Health Systems
(1 unit)
This course develops systems thinking in health care and public health. Students explore various perspectives on healthcare services, including coproduction of health and health care, connections between communities and health systems, and making change in complex system. Students will learn and apply basic improvement skills and will be exposed to a variety of approaches and examples. Implications of health care systems on social inequities and structural bias are a central focus.
PH 177:
MPH and MS Capstone Course Series 1
(2)
The overarching goal of these courses, a series of three capstone seminars taught during the academic year, is to guide and support students throughout the completion of an academically robust, high quality culminating Capstone Project. Each week the class will meet briefly as a single group, followed by smaller group meetings to address the process and content of specific projects.
Fall, Winter, Spring terms; 2 credits each term (HP, P, LP, NC)
Prerequisites: None
PH 145:

PH 209:
Introduction to Improvement Methods
(0.40 unit)
This course develops systems thinking in health care and public health. Students will be introduced to various perspectives on healthcare services: coproduction of health and health care, shared decision making, and making change in complex systems. The course begins by defining quality in health systems, including the STEEPE framework (safety, timeliness, effectiveness, efficiency, patient-centeredness, and equity) with a focus on medical errors. Students will compare approaches for quality improvement and their capacities to transform the quality, safety, equity, and value of healthcare.
