Center for Learning Healthcare Delivery
The OB/GYN Research Department is dedicated to advancing science and saving lives; especially in the moments and places where care is hardest to reach.
Ongoing projects:
- RESCU-ER (NIH funded): Preventing out-of-hospital mortality in children, with a special emphasis on rural and underserved communities.
- AI for Emergency Safety (NIH funded): Using cutting-edge machine learning to identify and mitigate safety events during pediatric emergencies.
- Cochrane: Improving health outcomes and advancing equity across the continuum of maternal, newborn, and child health.
- Mass EQLHS: Our statewide collaborative Institute embeds scientists into real-world systems to accelerate pragmatic research, transforming care delivery from the inside out.
Vision & Leadership
Jeanne-Marie Guise
Jeanne-Marie Guise, MD, MPH, MBA, leads our department with a deep commitment to advancing maternal, newborn, and child health through research that is both rigorous and rooted in real-world impact.
Guise is the Director of the Center for Learning Health Care Delivery and the chair of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Biology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School. She is also de Director of Mass EQLHS and co-founder and Executive Co-chair of the US Cochrane Network. Her work aims to improve healthcare delivery, health outcomes, and patient safety in and beyond hospitals. Specifically, her research ranges from large population-based epidemiologic quantitative studies, clinical trials, observational studies, and evidence-based reviews to clinical informatics, qualitative research, applied simulation studies, and artificial intelligence.
Under her leadership, the department is not only generating generalizable knowledge but also shaping how health systems respond to their most pressing challenges.
