United States PICU Physician Workforce with Dr. Chris Horvat
Dr. Chris Horvat is a pediatric intensivist and informaticist at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. He started his academic career at UNC-Chapel Hill where he got his undergraduate and medical degrees, after which he completed a pediatric residency at Seattle Children's Hospital and a pediatric critical care fellowship at UPMC. Dr. Horvat also completed Pittsburgh’s T-32 Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Pediatric Neurointensive Care through the Safar Center for Resuscitation Research, during which he earned a master’s in health administration (MHA) from the University of Pittsburgh. In his current work, he aims to utilize a combination of electronic health record-derived datasets, pharmaco-kinetic models, and pharmacogenomic insights to develop advanced clinical decision-support tools to help refine the use of potent sedatives and analgesic medications in the pediatric intensive care unit. He also serves as a clinical informatics leader, helping to deploy randomized, embedded, multifactorial, adaptive platform (REMAP) trials across the UPMC system.
