Dr. Krumholz is a nationally recognized leader in the field of outcomes research. His efforts are focused on determining optimal clinical strategies and identifying opportunities for improvement in the prevention, treatment, and outcome of cardiovascular disease with emphasis on older populations. Using methods of clinical epidemiology and health services research, he has sought to illuminate the balance of risks, benefits and costs of specific clinical approaches. These research efforts are intended to provide critical information to improve the quality of health care, monitor changes over time, and guide decisions about the allocation of scarce health care resources.
