Dr. Weiss is a pulmonary and critical care physician and implementation scientist with advanced training in clinical research. He is Head of Quality in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, Allergy, and Immunology at NorthShore University HealthSystem, and Medical Director of the NorthShore Glenbrook Hospital Intensive Care Unit. His overall goal is to use data-driven methods, including data science and network analysis, to investigate the implementation of evidence-based therapies in critical care medicine, and design implementation strategies to improve the adoption of these therapies in clinical practice. He has conducted extensive research on the use of data science and network analysis to understand the facilitators of and barriers to low tidal volume ventilation (LTVV) adoption for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). He has also designed interventions to improve implementation of evidence-based therapies and practices for critically ill patients. His research has included an R01 grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) as well as a prior career development award (K23) from the NHLBI. He was a co-PI (PI: Luis Amaral) on a Department of Defense grant to investigate the mechanisms of adoption among clinicians by building computational models of adoption and creating web-based interventions to improve adoption. He also serves on multiple national committees working on implementation science in critical care medicine. He was co-chair of the Official American Thoracic Society Research Statement: Implementation Science in Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine.
