Research Overview

David Greenes has two principal research interests--pediatric head trauma and informatics. In the first, he has investigated the clinical signs of intracranial injury in children with skull fracture and other head injuries to determine indications for head imaging studies. More recently, he has sought to determine whether the head-trauma patient's history is a reliable indicator of abuse.f

In the second, he is exploring computerized systems for alerting physicians to late laboratory results in the emergency department setting.
