Staff News
New programs operations analyst
[cid:image010.jpg at 01D9276D.D3F026F0]The department welcomes Michael Dudley as our new programs operations analyst, effective January 3. This new position was created as an investment in the strategic plan work, as each of the workgroups has a growing list of immediate and longer-range data management and analytics needs. Michael joins us most recently from Cornerstone Systems, Northwest where he provided data capturing, management, reporting, and statistical analysis support to various government and research organizations. Prior to that he was with the UW, as a data manager with the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute (ADAI).  He is excited to return to the UW and an academic environment. We are thrilled to find someone who can work really well with data and with humans, and we appreciate his infectious laugh. There is a small group working on creating the request/intake process for data related requests, so stay tuned!

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Survey
[cid:image012.png at 01D9276D.D3F026F0]On January 17, UW Medicine is launching an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Survey<https://depts.washington.edu/hcequity/edisurvey/> to identify baseline measures of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion across UW Medicine and provide actionable data to help prioritize areas for work at the entity and departmental levels.

The survey will focus on how various personal identities, (such as race, ethnicity, sex, gender, disability, etc.), shape employee experience while at UW Medicine. It includes questions about experiences of inequity, inclusion, belonging.

All UW Medicine faculty, staff, and trainees are invited to complete the survey which will take about 10-15 minutes to complete. The survey will be open from Jan. 17 - Feb. 28, 2023. Please participate in this survey to help make us a more equitable and anti-racist institution.


Research news
Creating novel approaches to improving sepsis care
[cid:image014.jpg at 01D9276D.D3F026F0]The Sepsis Center of Research Excellence (SCORE-UW) is a collaborative medical research center working to create novel approaches to sepsis care through bioinformatics-based translational science.

SCORE, led by Director W. Conrad Liles, associate chair for research, and co-directors Pavan Bhatraju and Mark Wurfel (Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine) seeks to advance care of sepsis patients through a better understanding of how the host response to microbial pathogens can be beneficial or harmful.  This knowledge will be used to develop tests that can differentiate good from bad responses and use the results of these tests to guide novel therapies.
