Special Interests
Dr Stevenson’s clinical interests focus on antimicrobial resistance in the healthcare setting and healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). One major area of research emphasis is examining strategies to optimize the utilization of antimicrobial agents to prevent the development and spread of resistance. He also focuses on understanding the development of HAIs and examining infection control interventions to limit their occurrence and impact. A third area of emphasis is in utilizing electronic health data for the surveillance and detection of HAIs. These research interests include diverse healthcare settings beyond OSU including those with limited resources such as rural hospitals and long-term care facilities. To support these research endeavors, he is currently the Principal Investigator of one of five Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-funded Prevention Epicenters (www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/epicenter.html).
More broadly, Dr. Stevenson is interested in applying the principles of healthcare epidemiology to improving many aspects of clinical care. He is a fellow of the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America, and a member of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, American College of Physicians, and the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology. He recently completed a five year term as a member the CDC’s Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC).
