Dr.
Burroughs is Associate Professor of Internal Medicine and an Associate
Professor of Biostatistics in Public Health at Saint Louis University.
He is also Division Director for the Saint Louis University Center
for Outcomes Research, and Chair of the PhD Program in Outcomes
Research. He holds graduate degrees in Mathematical Statistics
from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and in Psychology
from Washington University. His doctoral work in Psychology at
Washington University centered on the development of multivariate
models predicting the metabolic control of patients with Types
I and II diabetes based on psychological, social and clinical
characteristics.
Prior to founding the Center for Outcomes Research, Dr. Burroughs
was on the faculty at Washington University and was Director of
the Center for Healthcare Quality and Effectiveness for BJC HealthCare,
one of the largest non-profit health systems in the United States.
In his academic and corporate role, he was responsible for the
development, deployment and utilization of a broad based measurement
system that assessed the clinical and service quality across 13
hospitals, 5 nursing homes, and more than 100 ambulatory care
sites. In addition, he was the principal architect of BJCScores,
an online analysis and reporting system that provides real-time
quality data to more than 2000 managers on a daily basis, which
won the 1999 HIMSS National Quality Management Award. He has served
on a number of national committees identifying the most accurate
and appropriate ways of assessing clinical quality in American
Hospitals.
Dr. Burroughs’ research program has led to more than 40
journal articles and book chapters as well as speaking engagements
around the world. His research has centered on the measurement
and analysis of clinical and service quality, medical errors/adverse
events, the care of patients with diabetes, and the factors associated
with successful organ transplantation.
