Public Biography
Sarah Rossetti, RN, PhD is an Associate Professor of Biomedical Informatics and Nursing at Columbia University. Her research has been funded by NIH, AHRQ, ASTP and ANF and is focused on identifying and intervening on patient risk for harm and reducing excessive documentation burden by applying computational tools to mine and extract value from EHR data and leveraging user-centered design for patient-centered technologies. She co-leads the CONCERN Early Warning System study which uses AI methods to predict patient deterioration based on nursing surveillance patterns and has been shown to significantly decrease patient mortality risk by over 35%, sepsis risk by 7.5%, and length of stay by over half day. She is chair of AMIA’s 25x5 Task Force to Reduce Documentation Burden. Dr. Rossetti is an experienced critical care nurse, received her PhD from Columbia University School of Nursing, and completed a Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship at Columbia University’s Department of Biomedical Informatics. She was selected as a 2019 recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) and 2024 co-recipient of the Donald A.B. Lindberg Award for Innovation in Informatics by AMIA.
