Andre Amaral
Critical Care
Location
Sunnybrook Health Science Centre
The focus of Dr. Amaral's research is on improving quality of care for critically ill patients. Dr. Amaral works within two streams to improve quality: communication, to prevent errors and improve efficiency; and quality assurance, which involves measuring quality and developing novel models for implementing evidence-based medicine.
His work in communication focuses on transitions of care, a necessary, but fragile link in the heath care system, and on teamwork during interdisciplinary rounds.
His work in implementation science involves a novel collaboration across Ontario for large-scale quality improvement in a partnership of community and academic intensive care units.
